This is a restaurant I have been to several times and used to greatly enjoy. Brunch was something to look forward to at Gracie's. SADLY the service and quality of food as gone downhill tenfold. Waitress failed to jot down an order for 8 people forgetting one of the orders, but then putting it in as a single order that arrived 30 minutes before the rest of the part. Not only did I wait an hour for my food, but it arrived cold. I took the time to let the manager know how my once favorite restaurant was disappointing and left it up to them to resolve it- either with a discounted meal or refund. When I received no closure to the issue I decided it was the last time I would ever go. One thing I would like to mention is the visit prior to this was also disappointing but I let it go, thinking it was just an off day for the staff.

Weak drinks, slow service & mediocre bar food. Two stars for location and upstairs patio.

I'm going to start off by saying that I usually love going here for brunch. During football season its perfect because they have so many tvs and you can watch all the games at once. They also have a killer patio that is so much fun to hang out on in nice weather. Today however I was less than impressed and actually left really upset. I went in with a friend after not being there for awhile. I checked the website the day before and was surprised to see they had changed their brunch menu and it shrank drastically. That's fine. Its not a big deal. What was a big deal though was our server. I have one word for Annalyse: rude. We sat down in a booth upstairs and waited for a long time before she came to our table. She brought water with her which I thought was a good sign. She also brought our coffee and my friends mimosa quickly. Then we looked over the menu and waited for another long period of time before she came back. When she did I asked if I could get egg whites instead of whole eggs... And she said "no we can't do egg whites" I didn't think it was that big of a deal but apparently it is. So then I asked her what was in the parfait... Which she responded "well I don't know its a new menu I haven't seen it yet" uhhh Ok. So we ordered and our food came quickly. My toast was a little burnt but tolerable. I'm pretty sure I didn't get 4 eggs like I had asked for but its fine. Not at all what upset me. Annalyse came and checked on us again eventually and brought us sirracha. Refilled our waters, but didn't ask if we wanted more coffee or drinks. This is what upset me the most: after finishing our food our server walked over and asked if we were ready for our checks. I was actually planning on staying there for awhile but apparently its not going to be allowed. I don't feel like we were rude but I also do not feel like she wanted to be there in the first place. And as a server I know asking someone if they want their checks is code for "get out of my section" She got her wish since we left quickly after. Worst experience I have had there. It's not horrible but I love this bar and was more accustomed to friendlier service since we frequently go to it during football season. I will probably go back, but I know whose section I will be avoiding.

Great place to go hangout for Sunday brunch - menu is a bit limited but the atmosphere is great, staff is always friendly, service is prompt. I've been going here for years for Sunday brunch and love this place.

Gracies is hit and miss for me but I've learned which days suit me so I enjoy it most of the time. If big crowds aren't your thing, don't go late on a Friday or Saturday night. The crowd can be...well, a little too Ed Hardy/Affliction for my taste. You know what I mean. Bedazzled butts and way too many muscles popping out of too tight shirts. Not really my style but hey, if that's your thing... I love Gracies on the week nights. Especially in the summer. I adore their patios and summer drinks. On the week nights, you can usually find an empty pool table, pinball machine or shuffleboard! I particularly love Thursday nights because the Daniel Day Trio plays. A three piece band that plays jazzy versions of popular songs. Who knew Snoop Dogg could sound good as an instrumental jazz piece? As for their food, it's not bad. Maybe not the best food but some dishes are pretty tasty. I love their lobster and crab mac and cheese. Yummy, gooey, and cheesy. Is there anything better than those three words together? Probably not.

Gracie's was a fun stop in Salt Lake City. While packed, we managed to grab a table near the pool tables. It wasn't my favorite atmosphere compared to the other spots, but it was still lively and fun. The food was good - I had the cuban and it hit the spot (delicious). The drinks were reasonably priced (as was the food). Overall, a great spot to stop in the city with a group for a night out.

Good service and location, but so-so on the meal. Many of the hot appetizers were luke-warm by the time we received them. If you are looking for just a bar to hang out in and have a few drinks, Gracie's is fine. However if you are looking to have lunch/dinner, I might look else.

I don't know how many times I have eaten here probably 15 or more times, I even have a Gracies tank top. You may ask why am only giving them three stars because I always come back. This is because the service is pretty bad. The servers are extremely rude and they never really talk to you about anything because they are seriously so busy. But being busy isn't the problem because I have been in there when there's nobody around and the service is just as bad. I really come here for the ambience the place has a super cool feel. The drinks are overpriced but usually extremely good. The music that is played is the real Reason I enjoy Gracies. The food is eh? Not the best not the worst. I feel like they are constantly changing their menu which I don't enjoy. I really like consistency and I never really know what to expect when I come in here.

The beers were good and they try really hard with the presentation of their food but the taste is just okay. The wings were excellent, juicy and messy. Did not care that the server wanted to close her ticket out since her shift was over, we opted to carry through to the next server with our dinner entres. Plenty of monitors to watch your favorite sports event.

DJ was great! Not too many hit songs but still good though. He loved hip hop. Crowd was fun. We were quite packed in there but everyone was having fun so it didn't matter.

Saturday night, The place was packed, we found a table quickly. (You seat yourself here) . Our waitress was quick to take our drink order and give us menu. Over the course of the meal I had three Crown and Cokes. I think the first was a little under poured,but the next two were strong enough to make up for it. My meal was excellent. I ordered the Curry burger, with the BLT pasta salad. Both were fantastic! The burger was tender and not over spiced. The BLT pasta salad had a generous amount of bacon and what I believe was pesto. I also tried some chicken nachos that another person in our party ordered.They were delicious as well. The atmosphere was great with sports on several TV's and a nice level of music and conservation. I'll be back.

I have been here three time and had the curry burger, pho, and dumplings. The food is good, but different than you might expect. I walked thinking 'yeah I ate some food' Nothing amazing, but decent enough to go back.

In town on business, this place has a GREAT atmosphere and menu. Great selection of wines and single malts, Mac and Cheese was simple amazing. Paul was my server, and all servers should learn from him. I would love to go back to SLC just for Gracie's.

Came here straight from the airport on Thanksgiving day with my bf who was already mad i had ruined thanksgiving. I ordered the thanksgiving dinner for $10 a great deal until it came out cold as can be. I told my server and she said the cook would make me another one but the runner had already said it was the last turkey dinner and well of course when it came out, it had been nooked where the turkey was more like beef jerky. Pretty disappointed since I rave about Gracies food all the tiime. Bf had the ahi tuna wrap and it barely had fish in it, him ot being a fan of this place already and pissed off already, well it was a bad night. Live band was nice and service was good but the food, sucked!!!

Hmm, I was apprehensive due to the variety of reviews. I have to say that the service was on par and the food was definitely above average. We tried about every appetizer on the menu and I had the salmon for a main course. Good job. The crowd's a little riddled with tattoo shirt/sport jacket folks, seemingly looking for broken and easy women. (if you disagree, you are probably one of those. :) ), but if you can accept that as mild entertainment, you should be good to go! I recommend visiting Gracie's.

I went to Gracie's with my buddies... I had 6 amaretto sours and I didn't get the least bit drunk. Each drink tasted different, not bad, but different from each other. They had this pita and hummus stuff that was awesome though. BIG place. Loud. I'd go back.

This was an awesome lunch pick Thanks to Christopher W. who suggested it for me. The lunch menu is pretty reasonable and just unique enough to offer multiple quandaries trying to decide what to have first. We shared the Pomme Frites plate with 50/50 sweet potato and regular fries. They were thick cut, fresh and sprinkled with sea salt and herbs. The spicy ketchup had a nice heat that warms you up from the inside out. I had the lunch combo which is a major bargain. For $7 I got half a sandwich (I chose Turkey Avocado which was fresh and delicious with a soft pumpernickel hoagie roll, bacon, and cheese) a cup of soup (choices are butternut squash, french onion, or soup du jour) and a side salad. Great price, great food, 'nuff said. My dining companion ordered the mac and cheese which was $10, kind of pricey for mac and cheese...but wait a minute...it's topped with lump crab meat and has bay shrimp mixed in. It was super creamy and good and way worth the $10. Overall it was a nice lunch, with friendly service, good food and a nice atmosphere. There are still lots of menu choices that we want to try out, so I'm sure we'll be back. PS The diet coke was really good with a big slice of lime served with it. Yum-o!

Not a big fan of Gracie's. Their food is mediocre. Don't order the "pho" -- I don't know why anyone would order "pho" at a non-Vietnamese restaurant and I don't know why they even offer it on the menu. I have been here twice for work-related group events and was sorely disappointed both times. The server was overly busy--had WAY too many tables and neglected my group completely. Gracie's has a HUGE selection of excellent beers and nice TV screens, but you can't actually HEAR the game from the main bar area and it's SO loud inside that you can't hear the person next to you when they try to talk (or scream) in downstairs area. Random note (from my husband): men's restroom on the 2nd floor does not afford much privacy. Women's restroom is normal and clean.

I'm not the biggest fan of this watering hole, but it seems to be very popular in Salt Lake City. Gracie's has many seating options and multiple bars. Unfortunately, none of this makes up for the higher priced drinks compared to other SLC bars. They have a full food menu with okay nachos and pizzas. I have never had the pasta dishes, but friends liked the pasta. The downstairs outdoor seating of Gracie's resembles a jail, which I am not a fan. The upstairs outdoor seating is much nicer and offers a good view of downtown SLC. Gracie's is good for games because of the multiple TVs inside and outside. Overall, I think Gracie's depends on the type of person. I would add it to any bar crawl agenda and go from that point.

Owned and run by the former Port O' Call experts, Gracie's is always hopping with drink specials, brunch, sports and just being the newest and coolest place to be downtown. Deno Dakis and Shawn Frehner are extremely good at running a great bar and now they've raised the bar to offer an experience that Salt Lake has been lacking. The drinks are expensive compared to anywhere else in the U.S. but well-priced for Utah and the food is ten steps above what you might expect from a "typical" bar. The gourmet sandwiches and burgers are in fact gourmet and made with high-quality ingredients while the salads and appetizers are fresh, tasty and nicely presented. Tops on the list are the curry burger with caramelized onions and the skewered coconut shrimp with hot pepper-honey dip. Other choices include a selection of pastas, chicken and fish. The brunch menu offers lots of benedicts and other breakfast options such as French toast and pancakes. Overall, the food does not disappoint.

Expected something better than the burger that I recieved. The wait staff was good but the burger looked and tasted like something you would get out of a cafeteria... Meh....

Gracie, You popped my SLC "must be in a club" to be in a bar cherry. Be proud. I'm not ashamed. The idea of being in a drinking club is my kind of club. After the vaseline haze wore off... it really wasn't that romantic. Loud music. Cigars? Multiple rooms. But my... you sure did spread your legs with that vast patio of yours. Keep that patio open and you have yourself a harem of travelers that will come far and wide to take your oath.

I recently went to Gracie's on Tuesday for their Geeks Who Drink pub quiz. I'm a bit of a pub quiz connoisseur and the experience I had at Gracie's left me impressed. First, Gracie's has one of the best Quizmasters/Hosts in Salt Lake, Gar. This would make up for plenty of other missing ingredients alone. Yet, I don't have too much to critique. The bar was sparsely populated, but had a nice ambiance. The food (I had the Ahi wrap) was quite good. Their menu is quite decent for a pub with lots of options, including small plates and dessert. The service was high quality. My only real complaint is parking and it's expense being downtown. This is obviously a trade-off for the location. I've never been to Gracie's on the weekends, so I can't comment on the reputation it has at that time, but on Tuesday night, it more than met my expectations.

Brunch at Gracie's was a blend of outstanding food, tasty mimosas, and sunshine aplenty on the dining deck. The ambient music was just right, and service was acceptable. I had the Rancheros Eggs Benedict, which I feared would be massive and rich, but it was a very reasonable portion. My lovely dining companion tried the Egg Burrito, and she said several nice things about it. A good time was had by all... I look forward to my next visit.

Meh. The upper patio is sweet. The lower patio is nice. The first visit was awesome! This time, not so much. Sad. The service was laughable. Do they have numbered tables? There were two emo-kids walking around aimlessly with trays of food asking people at every table... "Did you order this?" We were asked three different times about food that wasn't ours. Then we watched emo kid #1 carry our food out the upper patio door (where we were sitting), down the stairs, back inside, and magically reappear with our NOW ICE-COLD food. Our server was inattentive and uninterested. The burger would have been excellent if it wasn't cold and the same goes for the fries. The chipotle steak wrap was UNgood this time. The meat was tough and chewy. The sauce had pooled in either end of the wrap, rendering it virtually flavorless until the last bite of each half. Super disappointing this time. Bummer. We will give them another try, but not anytime soon and not with the same level of excitement and enthusiasm.

Food is fairly decent. Unfortunately the service is absolutely horrendous. Food is slow to come out, staff is slow as well. Only go if you have several hours to get a burger. Chairs are uncomfortable as well.

Live music in the courtyard in the evenings. Was in town for a trade show and the place was packed. Food was decent. Service a little slow.

I went there once and that was enough for me to never go back. It's one of these places where sitting outside means being engulfed in cigarette smoke.

What a great place! Sometimes a joint fails in its efforts to be all things to all people, but here, somehow it all just works and they manage to pull it off. Food is good, the vibe is great, the peeps are cool, the venue rocks. Patio is great when the weather is. Whats not to like here?

I've been coming here somewhat regularly for a few months now, but brunch today now has me declaring that this is the best bar in town. I have to admit some snobbery. Yes, I'm that person that drinks wine at a bar. I know some of you look down on people like me, but it's not my fault that I haven't developed a taste for beer. But Gracie's is okay with people like me, so they have a good and reasonably priced wine list. The interior is nice and spacious, with plenty of TVs for sports watching. The live music they bring in is the type that you can groove to if you want, or you can go upstairs and enjoy it and a conversation with your friends. Service is sometimes a bit slow when it's crowded, but that's how it works, right? But this Sunday I went there for brunch. It was a beautiful day, and the deck was super comfortable with a nice view of the surrounding downtown area. They were playing just the right music over the speakers (a little classic rock, a little funk, a little jazz), and the food and mimosas were just delicious. I had the egg burrito, and my supremely attractive dining companion had the ranchero benedict. It was such a nice day that I really didn't want to leave. Good times, ya'll.

Slow service, even on a non-busy night. First server completely disappeared and other server looked surprised we wanted to order anything when we flagged her down ourselves. I ordered a margarita which was really, really strong and gross, but I hate to complain so I didn't say anything and she never asked. When we flagged her down again to close out our tab she noticed the still-full margarita and didn't say anything. Hmmph. I like the privacy of the booths a lot. Everyone always sings the praises of the patios but I find them a little too raucous for my taste most nights. I've only been to Gracies twice and for limited times so I've never tasted the food. They are participating in the Dine O'Round so I feel like it deserves another chance. For me, Gracie's is just A-OK. I liked it, had an ok time, but not twitterpated but this place.

I go to this bar every week because I can't find any better bar. If you are looking for 'average' crowd, this is the place to go. It's hard to find a bar filled with average people in slc. there is always trash crowd, druggies, punks, thugs wannabe, whore looking girls with bad attitudes. This place is at minimum (maybe $5 cover filters those breeds?) This place is pretty big. For a guy, it's big enough to browse enough number of merchandise. (at small bars, you are done after talking to couple girls) You can not make an excuse by saying 'neh there were no girls to talk to' There are college girls (30%), girls in mid-late 20s (50%), women in 30s (20%) but in good shape. Now they have a little dance floor on 1st floor. This is not good for single guys. It's such a headache when girls come in as a group and just stay on the dance floor attention whoring. It affects their attitudes too. Btw, their dance floor is not like a regular club where you can just start grinding with some chick. Their drinks are cheap. (heineken $3.50) If you want to hit on classy crowds and don't want to get disgusted by trash crowds, this is the place to go.

This place is ok. Not my favorite becuase it feels like its trying to be a hybrid of a pub but yet a club. Please get rid of the cover the bands suck anyway and that excuse to charge a cover is lame. Aside from that this place is cool to take a date or meet up with co-workers. The corn hole is the best thing about his place. Again ditch the cover you'll see increased traffic. No complaints about service at the bar and the design/layout of the place is groovy.

I have no qualms with this place. Food is pretty good, I got some avocado something or whatever. It was good. I've been here once before, during a much more busy time, and I didn't like it as much. I liked it more as a restaurant type place. But that's cuz I'm dull, probably because my parents never sharpened me.

Been to Gracie's multiple times now - usually at night. It's lame they charge cover and after last night I will definitely not be returning. We went in meaning to spend a good deal of cash money at their bar. It was early and not crowded at all. One guy in my party accidentally went through the exit door instead of the entrance (double doors located right next to each other) and was therefore banned from entering the establishment on the basis of being 'too drunk.' I was stone sober and it was just an honest mistake. We left with minimal push back. Against our better judgement, we actually returned about an hour later to meet up with some friends there. Again, the bouncer pointed out the guy and said he wasn't allowed in. The guy asked the bouncer why he thought he was too drunk (a little antagonistically, true, it's always best to kiss bouncers' asses in my experience). The bouncer decided to just repeat that he needed to leave. At that, the guy in my party was already on his way out and then out of the blue, the bouncer kicks the guy in the neck (WTF). Of course when you get kicked in the neck, you naturally get up and go 'what the hell!' The bouncer then proceeds to kick him two more times. I'm still sober at this point so was a reliable witness. Other workers at Gracie's also witnessed this random assault but only made a half-assed attempt to stop it and also gave us a half-assed apology. Anyways, I'm not unreasonable and I understand when bouncers need to rough up people at bars or clubs but we were ALREADY LEAVING and in no way physical. And to prove my reason - I will say that their food is pretty good when they actually get your order right (eg. not cooking your burger SUPER well done when you order medium). In summary - don't let your friends go through the exit door on accident - you will get kicked in the neck. Ok, done.

Gracie's is a place I frequent, but I've recently been turned off by them. First off, their new chef has changed a lot of my favorite meals, and I miss them - specifically the wraps and some of the brunch items. A big plus is getting rid of the old chef's nasty orange-colored home fries for brunch, but I really do miss some of the old food. Consider bringing them back! Also, as of late, the service has sucked the big one. I think this mainly is because there is never enough wait staff, but because of that, orders are done incorrectly, I've been overcharged, waitresses keep forgetting my order (BECAUSE THEY NEVER WRITE ANYTHING DOWN), I have to get up and get my own condiments/to-go box, etc. I have loved Gracie's, but recently they've been a big bummer. My one other big criticism is that their specialty cocktails (while sometimes yummy) are very weak but ridiculously expensive for how weak they are ($13 for a boozy iced coffee???) it is a total rip-off.

M M.

We tried Gracie's for the first time last night and everyone in our party loved the food that they ordered. My friend ordered the filet mignon and she said that she rarely finds a restaurant that cooks it well. She said that hers was cooked perfectly. My husband ordered the ribs and we loved them. The presentation of the ribs was amazing as well. We will definitely be back for more great food! The only downside I would say is that some of the music they played on the speakers was hard to listen to. F-bombs every other word on a song we had to listen to.

Whoa. Thank you, Gracie. It's difficult to find a good bar in all of Utah what with the rather strict alcohol regulations throughout the state. Gracie's beer selection does not disappoint, though I can't comment on how strong the pours are in other libations. I could feel the tendency for the bar to become "too Ed Hardy/Affliction[ated]" as another Yelper put it, but we happened to go on a Sunday night when they were all staying in and reattaching rhinestones to their jeans. Gracie's has the best "bar food" ever. Two words: curry burger. I rarely, rarely eat red meat, but I have no regrets. I had a side of butternut squash soup--silky and sublime--and we shared a portion of sweet potato fries. I was a happy girl. When compared to gastropubs in other cities, Gracie's might not be that impressive. But for the SLC, Gracie's is pretty swell.

Joey P.

I've only been here once, but all I can say is: TRY THE CURRY BURGER! It is one of the best tasting hamburgers I've had in my life. It's a bit pricey at $9, but it was fantastic. Also, the beer on tap was extraordinarily cold which is a big plus, in my book. We went here on a Saturday at like 2pm, so it wasn't very busy, so I can't speak to their service, but I love the layout and I think I'll come back to watch a Jazz game there.

I had heard from a local that Gracie's had good food. I had the pork sliders and truffle chips, and I would agree wholeheartedly. This was one of the better meals I had in SLC and definitely gave a gastropub impression. The only downside was that I arrived for lunch about 11:30 and the place was dead empty inside and out. This meant I felt a little strange while dining. And actually expected a little quicker service than I got, since I was the only customer. The service was adequate, though. It just felt a little lonely being the only one on the patio for at least half an hour. People did start to come in around 12. I would recommend Gracie's to anyone visiting SLC, but maybe don't show up so early!

Really nice atmosphere, tasty drinks. Went there with my roommate. She had the tuna roll, which was incredibly good. I tried the mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was a little pricey, but the portion was huge and had some good shrimp and crab in it. The wait staff and bartenders were really nice, pleasant people to talk to. We got there early and by the end of the night, there was a decent crowd of various people, and very, very interesting people. Quite enjoyed the live band, they did a good job. Definitely will try to return.

Disclaimer: This review is coming from a weekend-night-after-dinner perspective. Gracie's is a really good time for people in their mid-20s to early 30s. The atmosphere is almost-sorta pub-like in that there aren't any go-go dancers or circulating laser-lights. Instead, it's relaxed and well-lit with good music (sometimes live music) and a huge patio! The people at Gracie's are more the preppy greek-college-life type and not so Jersey Shore. In addition, the focus is mostly on the bar and/or standing around and chatting, but there are plenty of places to sit down and there's even a small area dedicated to dancing! What I love about this place is being outside on summer nights. They have a two-story patio with plenty of room for everyone. In the downstairs patio-area they even have a bag-toss game (I believe it's called cornhole.) Definitely a fun way to meet people and pass time! If the weather is not so warm, they place plenty of heaters and chiminea-type things outside to keep you warm. Fridays are extremely packed while Saturdays are less exciting. I don't really know if this is important to mention, but every time I come here, I always meet interesting guys who are more than willing to buy me a drink (just for the record- I usually don't let them. I buy my own drinks!) Anyways, you're welcome single ladies of SLC. Find Me In: a summer dress with flats or wedges. Some girls will be in tight dresses and stilettos but I'm assuming they just don't know anything else.

Needs a lot of help in the food department but the location and ambiance is great. We stopped by for lunch and the place was pretty much empty. The menu is fairly small but the food sounds good. I got the garlic burger and my wife got the steak wrap. The fries that came with the burger were great but the burger was overlooked and under seasoned. I added a sauce to bring out some flavor but even that didn't do much. The steak wrap looked fantastic but my wife said that there wasn't enough seasoning and too many bell peppers. Won't be back but don't regret giving the place a try. I saw the Cuban sandwich as I walked out and that looked really good; give that a try if you read this and still go.

CC R.

The food was terrible. Take it back, the edamame was good. The street taco was served with lettuce even though the menu stated shredded cabbage. It was surprisingly bland. The spare ribs were cold, fatty and tasted like they were boiled in water.

As a restaurant...Gracie's deserves three stars. But as a bar, Gracie's all around is the best bar in Salt Lake. It's not my favorite bar, but it's always packed with a good ration of women/men. You can wear a t-shirt/jeans and be fine, while enjoying a nice patio and setting. Could definitely please a lot of bargoer's tastes on this one. Hit up Gracie's if... A) You want a sure thing good time. B) You're not digging your date that much, so move on and snatch another girl's number here. C) You like lots of people (the place is usually packed). D) You're with a large group of people on a Friday night (something for everyone)

Gracie's is my favorite gastropub in the city. That's because it's the only gastropub in the city, at least the only one that deserves that designation. It is both an exceptional restaurant, and a great bar. I realized how much i really love the place after a recent aborted attempt to get a table at Squatter's, the most popular brewpub in the city. This is mostly for good reason, but the crowds and the volume at Squatter's can be a bit grating. Anyway, after being told there was a forty minute wait, we ended up next door at Gracie's, which has a more subdued and welcoming feel, at least early on weeknights. They have a nice selection of beers and mixed drinks, and with two levels and a fabulous patio, you can choose whatever atmosphere suits your mood. But it's the food that will continue to bring me back. After four visits with my lady, I have sampled several menu items, and I've never been disappointed. My favorite is Gracie's Crown of Ribs. This dish should not be confused with smoked and grilled ribs you might get at Pat's or Kaiser's. These are slowly oven braised in an ancho barbecue sauce until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender. A truly fabulous dish. The Ricotta Gnocchi is sublime. The Blackened Salmon Burger is a winner. The Madeira Pork Chop with Pecan Risotto rises to a level well beyond traditional pub grub. The Pommes Frites Plate, a combination of regular fries and sweet potato fries, cooked crisp and seasoned with salt and parsley, is a guilty pleasure. And the Ancho-Chili Chicken Wings threaten to convert me from my obsession with traditional buffalo style wings. If all goes well, I may be a brunch and a Bloody Mary away from a five star rating.

Grason R.

Gracie's is your typical hit and miss bar with more positives than negatives. It is a 2 story building, with a bar on each floor and plenty of seating. They occasionally have a Jazz band playing which can certainly add a lot of noise if thats your thing. The patio is great in the summer as it gives you a nice break from the busy inside. Food is great and drinks are reasonable. Just watch out for the popped-collar, unbuttoned shirt, guy who may or may not be there just to be a douche. If you are that guy, please stick to area 51.

Place is fine. Food was very undercooked. They did the right thing by comping the meal and giving me a meal to take home since it was the end of the night. Still, I won't be back.

LOVED this place! We tried several places while in town for 3 days, and this place kept us coming back. Everything was fantastic! GREAT drinks, pours and prices. FOOD was fantastic! (go for brunch and try the salmon). Staff was awesome! Everyone there was friendly, knowledgeable and just great overall. One bartender even gave us a map and told us different places to go.

"What the hell is a gastro-pub?" You may be asking yourself. After having eaten at Gracie's I still can't tell you with any certainty. I mean, sure, they serve beer. Okay, so the Pub part makes sense. But gastro? Gastro as in gastronomy? Doesn't that usually mean some sort of fine cuisine? A pub with fine cuisine. Oxymoronic, right? And that's the problem with this establishment. They screw up a good thing by trying too damn hard. Throw some curry on a burger and put a $12 price tag on it! Yeah, no. This place would be much improved by sticking to the basics. A good beer, a burger and some fries with a little greenery on the side that no one will notice or touch is all that a pub needs to be successful. There is a good looking club with good beer in a good location lurking beneath. Or you could go down the street to Squatters.

Just finished a 3 day trip in SLC and we ended up eating there 3 times! Not busy when others in the area had 20 min wait. Good service (servers #39 and #44). Wide range of seating options. We had the Curry Burger, Chipotle Steak Wrap, Spicy Ahi Tuna Wrap, Pomodoro Alla Tagliatelle and Beef Tournedos (was the special, not on menu). ALL were very good or excellent. Next time I'm in town, will definitely go back.

GASTROintestinalPUBdisorder. I've graced this joint a few times, mostly for drinks. The bartenders are solid, and they've a decent selection of bottled beer with some Deschutes and Squatters highlights. Only once have I eaten Gracie's food, but I will always remember it, especially if I am walking down the alley behind a condemned fish market. Salmon meets grill meets bun. Nowhere did the menu describe the fish as "aged." I would even call it geriatric. There were also, sadly, fries. Evidently, before my salmon died of natural causes surrounded by several generations of its fishy offspring, it installed its bath chair in Gracie's fryolator. The taste and aroma of stale fry grease are instantly recognizable and never a good sign. Seriously, it's fry grease. Change it regularly. There was also, tragically, a salad. If, over the next several years, you find that your salads have no dressing, I can tell you exactly where it all went. Perhaps a particularly frisky sous chef loosened the lid on the five gallon bucket of dressing as a prank. Whatever the cause, I have now seen lettuce swim. I even tried to defib my salmon by splashing some of the dressing on it. No luck, as it had long since gone to the light. So, given the horror show that was Gracie's fud, why have I not slapped a single stanky star upon it? Our server was totally pleasant. She tossed Grandpa Salmon into the crematorium and struck his memory from our bill. And, as a bar with TVs and sports and shuffleboard and such, Gracie's is pretty damn okay.

Ezra B.

Maybe I was super hungry or maybe I ordered right, but the ricotta gnocchi was most excellent. Pesto and Pho looked pretty damned good and the steak salad. Would come back and the amount of food you get for the price makes it worthwhile for sure. Great taste and seems like it has a pretty lively night scene too with a patio bar and upper deck bar. I'd go back.

I've visited for food and drinks a few times now, sometimes for a professional event but with friends and alone too. Experience is usually the same -- hit-or-miss service and mildly overpriced food/drink, but pleasant to excellent atmosphere. I can really only speak for the upstairs bar, which is where I squat. I went solo last night to watch my hometown Spurs kill it in the playoffs, and had a really mixed experience. Grabbed a table right in front of the flat screen and settled in. The lights were dimmed, the vibe was calm and I was stoked to have such a "private" viewing with just me and the HD TV. And for a good 10 minutes, it was just me and the HD TV. I finally got up and asked the female bartender for a Pacifico and to put in an order for nachos. "Where are you sitting?" I pointed to the table 8 feet away. "Ok, so that's ****. I'll send her right over." 8 minutes pass. We're into the second quarter. I approach the bar again, a bit bitchier, "Hi, I'm really hungry and really in need of a beer." "Oh, I'm so sorry -- let me go ahead and put that in for you." All was forgiven on my part. Until **** showed up. She asked me in an almost accusatory way, avoiding eye contact, "So, you put in your order already, I guess?" "Yeah. Nachos. Are they good?" She was gone before I was done speaking. Thank goodness Matt was working the bar. He took excellent care of me when he saw **** wasn't. Ended up meeting a lovely group of pro volleyball players from Seattle in town for a regional tournament, and also there to watch the game. Joined their table, which **** was also servicing. After seeing that she was condescending and snarky to all, I took her distaste for me a lot less personally. My nachos were 2 or 3 star, but a step up from Desert Edge. They kind of tasted like Taco Bell's nachos, though, which is probably because they use the same "cheese"? Sweet potato fries were a hit. I didn't try them but they looked to be the standard frozen variety. Burger also got a big thumbs up. French onion soup got two thumbs down, and the pork sliders didn't fare much better. All in all, Gracie's is my pick for watching a game downtown, if I'm solo or with a small group. It's not at the top of my list for a casual spot for drinks with friends, but it's not at the bottom either. Stick with basic American diner fare for food. Oh, and the patio's nice too, but usually less meat-markety upstairs -- just like the bar's interior, actually.

Greg D.

While Gracie's definitely is not much for the service, I do enjoy the food. I usually stop by at lunch time, it tends to be less crowded and service comes by more quickly. The Angus Burger is a great deal at lunch, only $6 with fries (I like the 50/50 regular and sweet potato fry mix.) Also a great beer selection and some good mixed drinks too. Most of their entrees are expensive so I have yet to try them out but the burgers are great!
(4)
Aubrey G.

Amazing nachos! Now I've bad mouthed places that put cheese sauce on their nachos but this place puts a home made queso that was delish! They also put real cheddar, fresh jalapenos and the works. Hands down the best nachos I've ever had. Service was phenomenal, the place was cute, clean and they had a pretty cool band playing acoustic versions of all the popular new hit songs.

Spencer S.

This place should not claim to be a gastropub. It should call itself a bar with better food. I know those sound like the same thing but they are definitely not equivalent. A gastropub should be a pub, essentially a drinking establishment that often serves limited food options, that has such good food and service that it caters to a restaurant crowd in addition to a bar crowd. Gracie's does not meet this definition. The food was better than average bar food, but the service was horrendous. Even though the place was completely empty, our waitress acted like a drink girl at a packed bar. That is to say, we very rarely saw her. We did not get drink refills until every person at the table was out of their drink. We could not even get up to grab our waitress as she disappeared completely for long periods of time. Our lunch took a ridiculous amount of time to come, and when it did, the soups, salads and entrees all came at the same time. My meal consisted of a steak wrap that was pretty good, a salad that i cant remember and a really good bowl of gumbo. I liked the food, but the fact that our presence was treated like an inconvenience ruined the experience completely.

Gracies has the sexiest patio in all of downtown Salt Lake City. With a lower and upper patio, downtown views, live music throughout the the week and a killer lunch and dinner menu (along with weekend brunch deals). This, on top of an excellent bar staff. Every group can enjoy a night out there.
(5)
Riad S.

Food is real good. My faves are the curry burger and the spicy ahi tuna wrap... We had brunch there today and I had a total of three cokes. The first was pretty flat, so I asked for another and then had another refill. Unfortunately, the servers are instructed to charge for extra refills. They charge you $2 a coke, and if you have more they can charge you more. You don't find this out until you get the bill. Completely ridiculous to pay $4 for a couple glasses of soda, let alone a flat soda.

Dine-O-Round Destination #5 $5 Lunch Special: Chicken Curry Wrap with choice of Side I ended up ordering the Garlic Burger with a side salad (with balsalmic vinaigrette). It was a really tasty burger, a bit difficult and messy to eat (had streams of curry infused grease running down my hands), but tasty never the less. My friends ordered the Dine-O-Round special and found the butternut squash bisque to be fantastic, and the chicken curry wrap to also be quite nice. Finding street parking was a tad bit difficult here, and the service was a little bit too negligible for me, especially at a lunch hour. There were tons of people there so I'll give them that, but it's still hard to forgive poor service when you allot yourself a 2 hour lunch and you're afraid you will have to run back to your meter before you even finish your meal. Anyways, It was a perfect day to sit out on the patio, except for the slight breeze blowing tons of smoke in our direction. But easily solved with changing tables. I really like the whole gastro-pub-ness of Gracie's and will probably be back to try other fixins on the menu. By the way, they had really decent looking vegetarian options!

Gracie's is a place to see and be seen. It is a great place if you're wanting to go out with a bunch of friends to someone loud and hip. There are lots of big screens in the main dining areas, great live music, okay drink selection, lots of congregating areas. The best thing is their big patio with lots of seating. They have been open for about 6 months and seem to attract the social club scene much of the same folks that used to frequent Port O'Call. What I didn't like- the menu. It was very typical bar food. Everything we had was really greasy- even dessert. The service was slow but friendly. Overall I would say this would be a fun place to hang out if that's what you're looking to do but if you're looking for good food and a classy atmosphere go somewhere else.

As usual traveling on business and came here to have a bite to eat. Sat upstairs in the bar, a bit noisy but I like sitting at the bar. Had a glass of wine and ordered the pork medallions. The pork was cooked perfectly but the rub was a bit too much. The sauce was great and you cant beat the bacon mashed potatoes. We had a great bartender who suggested the white Malbec from Argentina, awesome for $6. Great food, live band downstairs when we walked out, nice crowd. Nothing to dislike here!

6/21/2010 8:25pm To Kelley. At Gracie's. Just ordered pasta, salad, fries, all to share. We'll see if you're right to hate this place. ; ) 6/21/2010 8:35pm To Kelley. Waiting for food, Jeremy is out of water. No sign of waitress. He's started on mine. 6/21/2010 8:37pm To Kelley. Jer points out perforated tables not good for dripping drinks, etc. 6/21/2010 8:44pm To Kelley Trashy people at next table left lit cig in ash tray wafting copious smoke. Jer snuffed it for me. My hero. 6/21/2010 8:52pm To Kelley Srsly how long to make a plate of fries, Gracie?? 6/21/2010 9:07pm To Kelley Food came at last. It is actually quite good with caveats. Spicy ketchup too spicy. 6/21/2010 9:21pm To Kelley Waitress kindly put nuts on side of salad and I accidentally poured on whole salad so had to pick off Jeremy's portion. Sorry, Jer. 6/21/2010 10:06pm To Kelley Verdict: Gracie not bad. Def worth another try; hope to go before 7 when tapas menu available and Sunday brunch sounds yummy and affordable. Will go back!

Terrible customer service. We spent a few hours there and spent a lot of money and at the end were just treated poorly. The food was great though. Really would like to give them a good review, but can't because of the way they handle their business. Never going there again, unfortunately. Plus, it's an older crowd, like 50 and 60 year olds. Maybe that's why the service was bad, they're snobby and don't really cater to the younger, hip crowd.

I come into SLC on business every once in a while and have been wanting to stop here. A coworker and I stopped at dinner elsewhere but came here for drinks around 9pm on a Thursday. We were definitely glad we stopped here. This place has a pretty good vibe with live entertainment. Probably good for people watching to. There are two levels with an outdoor patio on the second floor. We decided to hang out on the patio for a while since it was so nice out and all. The second floor seems to be where everyone wants to hang out. I actually went to the bartenders on the first level because it was easier to get a drink down there and came back up. I've heard that the food is pretty good here also. The next time I'm in SLC, I want to stop by and try the food.

Updating my original review. Still a fan, but I wanted to make clear that my visits have only been during brunch or lunch. During the nighttime, it becomes the meeting place for the most annoying people in the city. I also believe they did not offer the hot cocktails during winter 2010/11. Bummer! Hope they come back! ------------------ Gracie's is a regular spot for the City Weekly crowd. Many lunches and after-work affairs have taken place here. I enjoy their food: * the salmon sandwich is a fave. * excellent soups * tapas LOVE that they serve hot cocktails during the winter. Nothing better than having a hot toddy to ease up a cold in January. The wait staff is excellent. I always have great service. The best patio in SLC. Plenty of outdoor space and seating.

Never eaten the food here, but as a bar Gracie's is not the greatest. Poor music selection (90s pop when I last went), cover charge, rude and inexperienced bartenders, and over-priced drinks. The crowd that frequently Gracie's can be be described as "guido;" with Ed Hardy t-shirts and overly-teased hair to spare. It's a shame that such a nicely equipped building turns into such a poor bar!

Disclaimer: I have never eaten food at Gracie's. I've been with people who ordered off the menu, and the food looked average at best. There really aren't bars with good food in SLC. There are good restaurants that serve drinks, but if you want good bar food locally you're going to have to lower your standards. I'm giving three stars purely for the patios. There are two large patios that a perfect for hanging out in nice weather. There's lots of tables, many with umbrellas. It's a good setup and pretty much the only reason I go there. Gracie's has two bars--one upstairs and one down. I really can't imagine going there solo. It's the kind of place where I want a couple of friends with me. They have live music often, but it always feels over-loud and forced. When the 50-ish couple starts swing dancing to a bad cover song I just want to cringe. To each their own...but how can I get my proper swerve on when Uncle Buck is dancing with a woman in a skirt that passed her by 20 years ago? I can't, and that's my point. Gracie's is a good place to take a mixed group of people. When you're not sure what scene people are looking for, go here. That way everyone will only be mildly disappointed!

Gracies is more like a bar than a restaurant. The service is slow, but the food we had was better than the stuff you normally get in a bar. The live band that was there performed various songs ranging from the oldies to the top 40 hits of today. Everyone was encouraged to dance in a section of space directly in front of the "stage". A pretty good ratio of men to women, which was not bad for a Wednesday night. Now I bet this place is rocking during football season or during the Jazz games.

This place has everything you need, unless you're claustrophobic. I like that you can stick to one area of the bar, and it's a different scene at the other end of the venue... we didn't even notice people gettin' hyphy on the dance floor until we left. No matter where you are though, you'll probably be in someone's path, and the layout doesn't give you many options to get out of the way if you know what I mean. Pros: -HUGE TV's w/ comfy seats -Dance floor -Fantastic game room w/ arcade games, pool, etc. -Good beer selection -Killer patio (only non-claustrophobic area) Cons: -Cramped, so don't leave ur seat if you get one!! -Male bartenders are a bit slow, but the taller female bartender downstairs fuckin' rocked it. Everyone noticed, and was tryin' to go to her.

We had a party of 6 and made reservations for the large booth upstairs. This is a 21 and older establishment and I really like that. We all ordered very different dishes. I had the crab and shrimp mac and cheese. It was outstanding! I did hear that the veggie stir fry and rib eye could have been better. The service was very good and I will be returning next time I am in town.

Was here for a vendor hosted event. We were in a back room where we had tv's and food. The servers were there pretty frequently so getting a drink was never a problem. The food we had was of the appetizer variety. That was all good. I didn't eat from their main menu, but I'm sure it was good. Also, good proximity to downtown. Sorry, this review is kind of thin.

My first day in SLC, we headed to Gracie's. Lunch consisted of seafood filled macaroni and cheese, salad, shots of whiskey followed by icecold BlueMoons with slices of orange wedges. YUM. We went back to Gracie's that night and heard the most AMAZING band ever, they are called the Daniel day Trio. They play jazz covers of the most random songs you would never even imagine: From Billy Idol to Bedrock, Birthday Sex, U2, and The Beatles. DDT is a dorky trio of men in ironic, hipster, vintage suits. They looked like they were having a blast rockin out on their instruments with big smiles and cracking up laughing at themselves, and we were having a blast getting tipsy off Utah-famous near beers and trying to guess the songs. I bought one of their CDs. I LOVE DDT and I love Gracie's, only because they play there.

The food was great, I got the macaroni and cheese with crab in it and it was amazing! However, the service wasn't good, it took forever to order and get our food and then our ticket when we were ready to go. I would go back for the food in a heartbeat!

I had lunch here with a large group during a conference. They were a bit slow, maybe due to the size of our group, but there were plenty of tables open. I had the Cuban sandwich with a side salad. It was tasty but lukewarm (cheese was just slightly melted) and a bit wet. Patio seating was okay and the staff was fine.

Not a gastropub, but a great bar with decent food. Interesting and friendly staff. We watched Game 7 of the NBA finals there, and it was a blast. Big cheap pours and lots of taps.

Here for work for a month and a local here recommended this place. I must say he did not disappoint. Great atmosphere great food and reasonable prices. I had the curry burger which was awesome an they give you the option of getting half sweet potato fries and half regular, they did not disappoint either. My friend had the pork tenderloin and mash potatoes. The mashed potatoes were spicy and freacking amazing.

Worst food ever. If their kitchen can't handle a Saturday night crowd, maybe they should consider only have a hand full of bar food on the menu. We ordered the sandwiches. The server was nice, when we told her the food is all cold. She took them back to the kitchen. When the food was brought back to us, the food was clearly microwaved. You can tell front the fries..... Maybe most their customers are too drunk to know how bad their food is. I won't go back there.

All i have to say is CURRY BURGER. DAMN that is a good burger man. Who would've thunk curry and hamburger? Well Gracies did. I chowed one down alongside a curry carrot soup. I know you might be thinking curry overload but you don't know me so stop acting like you know what i think alright! Curry perfection.

I have a love-hate relationship with Gracies. I love the food and the drinks. Their sweet potato fries with spicy ketchup is amazing. The patio is lots of fun when the weather is nice. But every time I go, the service is incredibly slow ...

Nice bar / restaurant in downtown Salt Lake area. I was in SLC for business and decided to venture out of my hotel for a drink. Easy parking in a $5 lot right outside. Friendly bartenders and staff and a nice outdoor patio area for the summer. It seemed to be a popular local place for 20-30ish year olds. I would go back if I ever find myself in Mormon country again.

Gracies was very cool. First time to Salt Lake City and I didn't think the would have a cool place like this there. The wait staff was great and very friendly and the food was GREAT. I will come back when I make it back up to the big city.

I stopped over to Gracie's the other night for a quick dinner. I got the Chicken Fromage with a cup of french onion soup. Let's just say I was very underwhelmed. The chicken was dry, and it really was just chicken and cheese. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but it was very subpar. On the bright side, they had a good beer selection, the bartender was friendly and quick, and they had touchscreen games. At least we entertained ourselves while we ate. It looks like it might be a good place for drinks in the summertime - they have what looks like a nice deck. I would go back for drinks, but will skip the food.

The service was awful... and rooftop?!? I guess it was rooftop, but I was thinking high in the air, not 15 feet up with an excellent view of the parking lot... I guess it's Salt Lake City.... Okay - we are from NYC so give us a little leeway, but in a mohito aren't you supposed to muddle the mint and isn't it supposed to be more than 5 leaves?!? Just really stay at your hotel... it has to be better...

Service here is a disaster. "Gastropub" in name only. The staff are nice, but these folks have no idea what they're doing when it comes to the restaurant side. Sit at the bar if you intend to eat a burger inside of 2 hours. They have open seating when you walk in, but the staff is so misplaced they rarely notice when a new table sits down. Food is hit or miss, some of it is truly good (excellent pork loin) , a lot of it is just bar food oddly seasoned (burgers, nachos, soup is terrible). Great wine list. Cocktails are crafted by someone who probably doesn't drink... almost all are odd syrupy sweet concoctions that you wont finish.

Gracie's was great. I would refer to the food as gourmet bar food. Very very good. Try the homemade Gorgonzola dressing. The ambiance is nice especially in the summer outside. Everyone was friendly, so we sat and drank beer all night.

Ryan S.

the angus burger was decidedly pedestrian (it seemed like it may have come from a frozen patty) but I'm willing to chalk this up to a case of "those who ask for the pedestrian receive the pedestrian." if they didn't pitch themselves as a gastropub I wouldn't have taken any issue with the quality of the food. both the beer and music selection was decent and the view from the patio was nice and on the whole I was content. the service was also good. I don't know how much that had to do with general fear of pre-declared Yelpers, but I'm cool with good service even if it happens to be fear-induced. I left around 10:30 and it seemed like the party crowd was about to arrive, so my escape was well-timed. because the patio is so pleasant it would likely be a great brunch spot, so I'll be back for that.

Gracie's opened in June 2009 and I have been quite a few times since then. They open at 11am and have a full menu. There are some great food options. Lots of tv's all around the bars if you just wanna go in and watch a game and have a beer too. The last few times i've gone in, there has even been live music. One of my favorite things about Gracie's is the setup. There's an upstairs and downstairs bar, a game room and the largest two level outdoor patio I have seen in Utah. I love the dark wood bars and seating inside. It works well since it's so open with windows just about everywhere.

The Tuesday night House band "Red Rock Hot Club" plays great Swing Jazz and Gypsy Jazz tunes. Food and drinks are OK. No Cover.

Gracie's is good. I can't feel good about saying great, because I've only been there once, so good will have to do. The view from the roof top patio is stellar. The expansive parking lot out front and the traffic on 300 S is just amazing. The view out towards the mountains obscured by tall buildings isn't bad either. If you enjoy looking down on people, but haven't achieved the status or financial success in life necessary to do it figuratively, visit Gracie's and do it literally. The rooftop balcony works like a charm for that stuff. If you're Mormon or recently turned 21, you'll get the butt puckering thrill of being carded for ID since Gracie's is a bar. But if you're just going for some tasty fare, you won't need to talk to your bishop. I promise. The portions are large, the prices are reasonable and the selection is vast considering this is a bar. Food quality was on par and service was friendly. Eat here, its good and different.

I went there for a "Girls Night Out" right after work, so it was 5:30 and the lower patio was just perfect. Very casual atmosphere, service was awesome!! We had the hummus which was good, not the best I've had. Someone else in our group had a giant plate of nachos...it looked delicious. The attire ranged from casual to folks just coming from work. Our server, Tiffany, was Awesome and very attentive! I'd definitely go here again. I'd like to try it later in the evening...I've heard it gets rocking!

This is a must have on a hot summer night. Had the filet mignot and it was so tender, I felt guilty eating it. Melting Gouda crumbles and a raspberry sauce, mash tatoes and asparagus were good too. Dinner was good but watching Julia run around and handle a dozen tables with a smile on was oddly entertaining.

Mid week business trip looking for a good place to eat. Gracies was close to the hotel so I checked it out. Sat at the bar and was immediately greeted. Bartender was helpful with the menu and did not suggest the most expensive things which I appreciated. However, I did go for the Filet. Cooked to perfection! Overall the atmosphere was great and the service was perfect!

This place is freakin sweet! When I come to town for work and I want to go out and blow off some steam or feel like having some beers this is the place I go. The fifth star is lost due to the food menu not being as classy as the rest of the place. Huge outdoor bar, live music during the summer and extensive tap room are the highlights. Enjoy!

Bill B.

Spacious, "after work" type of place, tailored for the yuppie crowd. Two levels, two patios, decent food, OK bands, good place to watch sports. All in all, a little generic for my taste, but a safe bet if you need a place to take conservative out-of-towners, like your in-laws.

Timothy N.

Oh I wanted so much to write a good review tonight but am afraid I can't. I've eaten here before and the social aspects of the restaurant have been good. I was entertaining family from the Midwest and wanted them to have a good time. It took 20 minutes to get water, 40 mins to get cocktails and menus, and two hours after we ordered to get food. And finally when all the entrees arrived they were either cold when they were supposed to be hot and the spinach salad had been sitting so long in its own dressing that it was now wilted and soppy in dressing. Now one might say they had an off night but a friend of mine had lunch there a week prior and said it took 2 hours to get a burger. And he is a clergymen and I've never heard him complain about anything at all. The previous time I ate there on my birthday 4 months ago, they were slow so they are on my black list until I hear somebody say something different. The manager apologized and took 50% off our bill and he would have been smarter to make us pay the full alcohol tab (two drinks) and comp the entire worthless dinner. I hate to complain. but not any longer. Looking at other reviews, I noted that people have been complaining about their slowness for a long time. Better smarten up boys or you're through.

Came here for Sunday brunch and sat out on the patio, which was nice. I ordered the French toast that was to die for!

This is the best brunch I have had in a long time!! We ordered the creme brÃ»lÃ©e French toast and the hangover to share. The French toast was amazing!! It was crispy on the edges, and soft but not mushy in the middle. The hangover is cheesy potatoes covered in meat and hollandaise sauce. The sauce was creamy and had loads of flavor. Will be coming back!

The table layout with the dance floor is so odd it is annoying. I wish they would get rid of the tables in this area after 10PM. It just doesn't work. The bar is often times filled over capacity and it an absolute joke after 12. Why would anyone in the world come out to drink with t-minus 59 minutes to get a drink? Upstairs during the winter winter is at least 175 degrees. Alright --- The good stuff. Place is often bumping and there can be some talent had if you look close. Cougars and young pumas on the prowl come here on the rotation through the SLC bar loop. Food is pretty good for a bar and the bottled beer is cold.

Annette S.

Two stars only cause we had 4 rounds of drinks and a meal (that sucked for me not for my husband) for $64! Considering what we have paid for one round and a meal for same price that's not too bad for a Sunday brunch. Now to my lack luster faux eggs Benedict....that deserves zero stars. My "poached" eggs where boiled eggs that were previously refrigerated and then thrown atop my veggie/English muffin with hot hollandaise. So I had cold boiled eggs...no run to the eggs like a proper eggs Benedict. Disgusting and uncalled for. Waitress was too busy acting like a thirsty floozy and clearly trying to flirt with every guy at the table. That's not how you get a good tip when there is ladies at the table. No game. On the other hand my husbands burger was quite flavorful and juicy! The ambience wasn't that bad, someone was playing some house music on patio and live band after. One more thing guy at the door when we first entered, older man with too much attitude, can scale back on the 'tude. It's supposed to be a fun Sunday brunch place so losing the "I don't care" attitude would help, especially since it's our first time here and we were clearly not from Utah as you had seen our ID's.

Lisa M.

The food here is hit or miss. In the evening when it's crowded it's definitely a miss. Usually we end up here at the end of the night so it's a good time. But the last couple times we ended here less than intoxicated it was a real eye opener. There are A LOT of dudes here. Maybe a few gems but who knows. In fact, last time, we sat up stairs on the balcony so we could people watch down below. ALL DUDES. Maybe one or two chicks but it was like a serious "where's waldo" situation. I mean, don't get me wrong, i'm a woman so if there are more guys than girls that fine but when the scale is seriously tipped it's just not as fun. Other than that and the "okay" food its just, okay i guess.

Food is awful, this is the second time I've eaten there and was really disappointed. Went there on Saturday and ordered Nachos - Chips were really salty and soggy and tasted like Velvetta cheese and an overwhelming amount of onions, was really bad :(. Do the people there not taste the food that they serve? Never will eat there again! Really a sleezy place! While we were sitting at our table, we all got to watch a girl getting dry humped. This guy had his hands up her shirt, fondling her breasts, while doing the dry humping thing. Seriously???? I'm all for a good time, but there's a time and place for this kind of stuff.

The worst customer service I have ever experienced!!!! I got a drink spilled all down the back of my leg down my shoes and all in my purse by the bartender. I turned around to see who spilled the drink and I saw a waitress (Amber) and thought she spilled it. My friends said to her calmly "someone just spilled a drink on my friend" and the waitress got all defensive and started to attack my friends. Next thing we know there's a bouncer telling us that my friends getting kicked out because the waitress didn't want her there. Of course we were upset because nothing happened, we were talking amongst ourselves saying the waitress spilled a whole drink down me and ruined my shoes and she (over listening our conversation) starts to freak out on us and got all upset and said we were giving her attitude which didn't happen. A group of 15 people and they kicked us out because a whole drink was spilled on a paying customer and their waitress was the one that made a scene and gave us attitude and then kicked us out for nothing. Even the people around us were so confused because nothing happened and the next thing we know we're getting kicked out. That makes no sense. Not one apology was said! Worst customer service I have ever experienced and my friends and I will NEVER go back!!

My boyfriend and I were browsing downtown and thought a pub would be a great choice for a Friday night. As we sat, it took about 15 minutes to get menus for a pretty steady crowd. We ordered our drinks and got it in another 15 minutes. We were in no rush that night but the service was okay. The waitress was very nice. Dinner was decent. I had the eggplant Parmesan and my boyfriend had a classic burger. We only came here since the waiting time at squatters was 2 hours. I might come back but only for drinks.

A lot of my bar reviews start out this way, so not to break tradition . . . I was DDing this particular night, so this is an atmosphere review, with room for updates later. It was a crowded and happenin' Saturday night. There were many young people, and many middle aged men searching for their lost glory days, grinding up on these young people. The DJ was . . . mediocre, but the music had a beat so people were on the cramped dance floor all the same. The waitress was prompt and friendly; I'm sure on a slower night Gracie's would be the best. As it was, I'd shrug if invited to go again and probably go without enthusiasm. Not the best, not the worst.

Sam S.

Gracie's is nice inside with the style of a New England pub with two bars, one upstairs and one downstairs and lots of tables and seating areas. During the warmer months the outdoor patio looks like it would be really nice, but being that it's winter now, it was much too cold to be dining outside. We instead opted for a nice table inside and ordered some brunch. For brunch I ordered the CrÃ¨me Brule French Toast which consisted of thick sliced bread dipped "crÃ¨me brulee style", whatever that means, and served with maple-butter syrup and powdered sugar. I also ordered a side of bacon because the french toast didn't include anything else. If you have a large appetite I'd recommend ordering a side of meat, such as bacon or sausage, and maybe some eggs. The french toast is pretty sizable, but again, if you have a large appetite you may want more to eat. The french toast was good, with a rich flavor and just enough sweetness. Unfortunately the french toast was a little soggy, as if they didn't cooked it long enough. It would have been darn near perfect if it was just a little crisper. Maybe next time I will ask them to cook it a little more. My wife ordered the Eggs Benedict, Florentine which consisted of an english muffin, poached eggs, Canadian bacon, spinach, tomato, and hollandaise sauce. Her meal also included Gracie's home potatoes -- which were really good. My wife loves Eggs Benedict and she said Gracie's was very good. One of the definite pluses for Gracie's were the very reasonable, if not downright cheap prices for brunch. My french toast was only $5 and the Eggs Benedict, Florentine was only $7. Overall Gracie's made a great first impression. The atmosphere was good, the service was excellent (our waitress was very friendly and on point), and the food was reasonably priced and tasted good. But Gracie's was not without a few demerits. First of all, parking cost $5, the same cost as my french toast! I hate paying for parking and paying $5 for parking given the inexpensive cost for brunch was not cool. Secondly, because Gracie's is a bar there is the stale smell of cigarettes throughout, which is really gross. All and all these are pretty minor things, so I would go back to Gracie's again for brunch. Gracie's has a lot going for it.

This place has such potential, but is obviously severly mis-managed and always understaffed. Food and drinks take FOREVER. Sometimes served cold. The menu has items on itn that I was told by the server they don't have and never have had them...I have been more times than I care to admit as In have had friends want to go to eat on the great patio. Every time I drag my feet and moan. Staff your restaurant/bar!

Stopped in for a pre-dinner cocktail and wished I was there for the food. They appeared to have an extensive food menu as well as cocktail menu and the food we saw coming out to the other patrons looked very good. Unfortunately, we already had plans to go to the Yelp party across the street so we stuck to cocktails. I got a beer the wife a cocktail they she enjoyed, can't recall the name. Service was very good, prices were reasonable. I will post a revised review when we try the food.

Ordered pretty much all the menu over the past year and also ordered my favorites plates. Glad to say Gracie's has been consistent in prepping and serving delicious food. Top plates for me are the Salmon Burger, Thai Wrap, Wings, all the salads are yummy and the BEST sweet potato fries. Keep up the awesome job!!

Trissta H.

The alcohol was pretty average on price compared to other bars around the area. The womens bathroom was really clean, 1 star for you! I did not try the food - it looked alright but I don't know if I like this place enough to spend my dinner money here... I also really liked that the top patio was a non-smoking area; this is nothing against smokers, but as an ex smoker this was actually something I liked about Gracie's - give yourself another star. The humans that flock here are.. well let me just sum it up: Fellas - wear a really tight shirt, some affliction, and pants with white stitching. Ladies - wear a super tight dress with sky high heels to reel in them boys! Good luck and I wish you all the best in your adventures on finding your soul-mate at Gracie's.

While at Gracies , I ordered the Reuben sandwich. I gotta tell you one of the best Rubens I've ever eaten anywhere. Before she was absolutely huge and a sweet potato fries in filled the plate. We were in a very large group and everyone around the table said their meal was unbelievable. We got a couple appetizers the nachos and by portion size they were huge and delicious. We ordered the hummus and calamari both were great but a little smaller on the portion size. The server was awesome and was greeted immediately when I walked in the door fantastic place to have dinner lunch I will be back.

Great low key place to hang out and chat, watch sports or listen to one of their great bands. I was pleasantly surprised when a co worker wanted to meet here and catch up at the bar. I had the sweet and delicious maple glazed pork chop for dinner. The couscous was great dunked in the maple sauce. YUM! And my friend had the filet, who said it was good. Bartenders provided great service and were always around. The music started just as we were leaving, but sound great. Probably a great atmosphere for those of us that travel and dine solo.

Staying nearby, we walked to this place from our hotel. Nice atmosphere and an outdoor section where you can smoke (I am not a smoker). The Bloody Marys were pretty darn good. We stopped in the night we got into SLC...which was a Thursday. After a couple drinks, we left. We came back Friday night around 10PM and the place was starting to fill up. There was a $5 cover to get in, regardless if you were there for dinner or just drinks. They had a DJ play music. It was a good crowd of mostly locals having a good time. They serve food, but we ate before we got there....so no comment on the food...sorry.

Gracie's has actually been around for a while, and I have been meaning to check this place out too. So far, I only managed to visit them for brunch. It is a pub, so they do ID you at the entrance. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with upstairs and downstairs. Choose wisely depending on the weather of the day. The ambience is actually quite nice here with great music for your meal. I was for here for their brunch and had their Smothered Egg Burrito. It has an egg burrito and came with a side spiced potato. The home potatoes were nicely done with an interest spice flavor unlike any potato I ever tasted. The egg burrito has a blossomed with a nice mixture of flavors from the spinach, mozzarella, cheddar, tomatoes and onions. Definitely a place worth revisiting and be sure to park on the street on the weekend as the parking lot charges fee regardless of the day.

Always looking for good beer and even better gastro pub type food. The Sauteed Kale Salad caught my eye and thought I would try. While the Pretzel Bites appetizer was very good, the kale salad was so so. Very tough, old kale and not alot of flavor. Carrots on the side were also ok but hardly any flavor. Beer selection was great and the local pale ale I got was great. Staff very attentive and friendly. Place was clean and had nice clientele. Will repeat when in search of beer but not for food.

I like this bar even though it gets pretty packed they do a good job at keeping up with everyone. They have a small dance floor and normally a band or dj. Two bars, upstairs and downstairs and they have table service outside. All in all, I normally have a good time here! Will be back.

TL;DR: Brunch was mostly a disappointment, but the atmosphere is really nice. A few weeks ago at Tastemakers I was chatting with the Gracie's guys in between bites of their delicious ribs and lobster mac. "We have brunch now, you know," one of the chefs said. And with that, it was time to organize a meeting of the minds (BrosWhoBrunch) and give it a shot. They open at 11am on Saturdays and 10am on Sundays, so take note when planning your outing. I really enjoy the atmosphere at Gracie's. Their patios are a great place to pass the time and hang out with friends. The food was hit or miss. I ordered the Italian Benedict. Poached eggs on sausage and an English muffin, topped with a generous slathering of hollandaise and a hit of balsamic. It also had a generous helping of my personal kryptonite: basil. The taste was spot-on. Everything had a nice balance. Unfortunately, my dish was served to me at room temperature, and I confirmed with one of my buddies that his Benedict was served the same way. Also, the eggs must have been poached with a bit of red wine vinegar, because the egg "whites" came out pink, which was a little disconcerting. They serve most of their dishes alongside their house potatoes, which were a complete disappointment. Unevenly cooked, some were still hard and uncooked on the inside. Other pieces were dry as can be, and they lacked much flavor. A couple highlights, though: the creme brulee French toast was incredible. I love me some French toast and Gracie's version definitely didn't disappoint. Not too mushy, with just the right amount of crispy coating on the outside to make this the standout dish of the day. Another buddy's breakfast burrito looked pretty good as well. We were pleasantly surprised to see the Joshua Payne Orchestra show up mid way through our meal. They started playing their take on various popular songs, and it was a real treat.

Nice open air patio and live music. However service is abysmal. Ordered 2 eggs and bacon. 2 hours and counting and I still do not have food despite numerous apologies and excuses. 2 hours! For eggs....I had to get my own water I got so tired of waiting. Don't come to eat, unless you have the entire afternoon to burn.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself here. I ordered a virgin Bloody Mary and the veggie burger. Both were delicious. I tried my companion's CrÃ¨me Brule French Toast and had a foodgasm. The service is great and friendly. It felt like a couple places you'd find in West Hollywood or Venice Beach. I see myself becoming a regular for sure! :-)

My stop at Gracie's yesterday begged for a review update. I returned for the white bean veggie burger that I loved so much on my last visit. While still tasty, it didn't have the same appeal as last time. I'm not sure if it was overcooked? Something was slightly off. At any rate that's not what put a complete damper on the meal. This time instead of going for the side salad, I ordered sweet potato fries as a side. Big mistake! I believe they were frozen fries from a bag. I don't think a restaurant should bill itself as a "gastropub" if they're heating up frozen fries. What sets it apart from a fast food chain? While my server was nice enough, I didn't get a welcoming vibe from the others in the restaurant. It was fairly empty while I was there for lunch. I sat there for over an hour and got bypassed time and time again without any acknowledgment. Although the owner stood next to me and talked to another patron for about 20 minutes, he didn't say a word or inquire about my meal. I definitely wasn't looking for a welcome wagon but I don't believe it's hard to acknowledge the few people who were in the restaurant at the time. This was my third, and likely last, visit to Gracie's. Very inconsistent service. There is better to be had.

A very popular spot to grab a nice drink... At the time, I was not familiar with all the weird laws about beer in Utah, so after some discussion with the waitress (all I really wanted was a nice pint) I ended up with a wine sized bottle of beer in front of me. It was almost sitting there like a dare... well of course I thoroughly enjoyed the hoppy beer I chose and drank it all... Cool place with multiple levels with some live music. A good spot to hit when you are in town.

Foods great ( love their brunch, try the mimosa!) and I love the lights they hang up outside . During the summer it's really nice to go out and sit down . It's always packed and it might be hard to get a table. Their lobster Mac and cheese is comfort food all the way and I love pairing it with a glass of Chardonnay. Try their steak burger !

Joshua S.

The food here isn't going to blow your mind, but... it's edible. Some of the food options are definitely better than others. I wasn't too thrilled with their beer menu, but not every pub is going to have my favorite beers and I'll just have to get over that :P The big perk for me at this pub? The shuffleboard table!

No man, just no. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR MENU? Food used to be so good. Now it so sucks. You don't get to call yourself a gastro pub if you serve nachos with neon orange cheese goop.

It's truly sad to see such a fine establishment fall from grace. I was never a fan of the evening activities of Gracie's (not my scene) but I was always delighted to patron this venue for its delicious lunch and brunch on its amazing patio. While the patio has kept its incredible view, the kitchen has lost every ounce of its charm and taste. After attempting to enjoy a Sunday brunch with six companions and being told their was a "new chef," the food delivered was so far below par it was off the charts. Plates we're describe as "soggy," "rock hard," "dry," "artificial," "bland," "coagulated,"cold," and "disgusting." Not one patron was happy with their meal and we're extremely hard to displease. Unless I hear of any improvements or a change in leadership, I can assure you nobody from this group will return. Such a shame.

Gracie's used to have one of the best brunches in town, but they have taken a huge turn for the worse with the addition of their new chef. Every single one of us had issues with our food -- whether it was dry chicken, cold eggs, soupy gravy, soggy and frozen fries, or coagulated Irish coffees, nothing came out that was worth eating. Won't be back until they have a chef who prepares fresh food and uses quality ingredients. To their credit, they didn't even try to charge me for my meal that I sent back after only a few bites. On a positive note, our server was very nice and took great care of us.

Last of our money that will ever go to Gracie's until the management turns over. Overwhelmingly unprofessional staff and "management" (trickle-down effect). Not to mention, very mediocre food. Server did not know the menu, had an attitude from start to end and didn't write anything drink/app/entree orders for a party of 8. Not surprisingly, our bill came out wrong - with upcharges for items we specifically declined, a full-priced salad that he previously confirmed was part of the half-off happy hour offerings, etc. When these mistakes were brought this to his attention, he became aggressive and argumentative, refusing to correct his error then leaving to get his manager. We though the manager would HELP solve the issue..wow were we wrong! Attitudes and professionalism are poor and lacking all around! The "manager" was worse, immediately combative, mocking and sarcastic. Setting this example for his onlooking employees. Long story short, we were SHOCKED by the unprofessionalism and lack of customer service here. Lots of other places to eat, this will not be one of them.

This place is perfect for a Sunday football game. Screens and big screens everywhere. Clean. Attentive waitresses. Food is amazing. Affordable drinks. Great atmosphere. I give this bar a three coz they don't have parking lots. The huge parking next to them is a paid lot. I had to park on side of the road three blocks away. Its an inconvenient to me.

Gracie's is a great place to meet friends for dinner and a few drinks. the staff is friendly, accurate on orders, polite and very attentive without being overbearing. the attmospher is great you can go there for dinner and end up staying to dance and party the night away. Friday and Saturday nights are the best and it gets packed with people looking to enjoy the salt lake night life.

Brynne H.

My only complaint about Gracie's is that it's really hard to hit your dinner per diem here because everything is so favorably priced. Seriously, it was impossible to spend $30.00 here. Is that not the best worst complaint ever? The food was terrific. The nachos were so, so good. I almost wish I was in SLC more often just for the nachos. My coworker ordered those (but the small mountain was more than enough for me to sneak bites), the chicken wings (nothing to get excited about), a salad, and an entree I can't remember. I ordered the French onion soup (just okay) and the taco salad (holy crap, omg so good). We were there on a Monday night, so it wasn't exactly popping, but it looked like it could be a fun place to hang out. If I'm ever back in SLC, I know I'll find myself at Gracie's.

I was at Gracie's on a cold Monday night. When I got there, which was a bit early in the evening, I was the only customer, but thankfully, the staff wasn't weirdly overbearing like others I've experienced. I got a Moab beer and looked over the menu. I had seen the curry burger mentioned in another Yelp review and had been craving that since I'd read the description; so, I ordered that with the French onion soup. It was delicious. I loved the cheese on both the soup and on the burger, and the curry ketchup was awesome. It wasn't overpowering but tasty. I do wish there had been more excitement on the night I was at Gracie's, but I understand it was a Monday and a relatively cold night at that. I only ate half the burger there, and while the waitress brought me a box for the other half, I realized I forgot to take it with me when I left, but felt it was too late to go back for it. I don't think I would have minded having leftovers of the burger, though.

Warning, the address in Yelp is wrong. Gracie's is actually across from the Hilton Downtown. I went here to watch the Seahawks game last weekend and absolutely loved the place. The food was good, the drinks were great and the atmosphere was really fun. I hear that it's even more fun in the warmer months when both the patios are open. Great place to grab brunch and watch football or go to late at night for drinks, they do it all!

I was in SLC for a conference and found this bar on yelp that was close to my hotel. A friend from the conference and I decided to go watch some Sunday night football here. The service was good and the drinks were just right! The patio outside looked awesome and fun but there weren't any tv's and it was a bit too loud to try to have a conversation. I got the butternut squash soup and it wasn't quite what I expected. But the ahi tuna salad was fabulous! I didn't even use any dressing, it was great.

I love the outdoor areas on the first and SECOND floor! Great location but parking can be a problem on busier nights. The drinks are on the expensive side but that equals to a nicer bar...

Gracies isn't going to set any records for being "best of" in SLC, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't go there. 3 stars means exactly that: A-OK. Nothing great, but solid overall. They have a ton of space, indoors and out. During the summer I highly recommend sitting on the upper deck towards the corner where you can see both east and north city exposures. If you squint, you can almost imagine you are in a real city. But then you look at the prices on the menu and the availability of seating, and you come back to reality where you live in the best city ever: Salt Lake. There are three reasons you go to gracies: A) You are looking to have some after-work drinks and snacks with friends or coworkers and bitch about your boss. 2) there is a sporting event on and you want to hang out and relax whilst watching it and drinking draft beer and D) you just moved from the Seaside Heights, NJ and need a place to score. I have been there for all 3 reasons (reluctantly on D), and have to say that if you set your expectations right, Gracies will be good for all 3. If you are not looking for D above, do yourself a favor and just plan on hanging out until about 1030pm on friday or saturday night then move down the street to someplace more chill. Gracies will turn into the cougar club after that. Nothing wrong with that. Just should be known. But casual drinks are great with people, lots of booths and tables, and these high tops that are exposed on all sides which allows you to meet people or talk to people easier. Good stuff. Food is B- to B+. I HIGHLY recommend the sausage nachos. Being from Philly it was a nice touch to see some disgusting cheese-whiz like substance being installed on them. Also, their wings are kinda good, like a Thai-chilli sauce I think. Ive had a bunch of their wraps. Nothing to stay away from. I think the best thing I had there was some sort of Gnocchi with spicy sausage (in a bar...really?) which will seriously make you question your sanity while ordering but will quickly be justified with the first fork full into your mouth. overall, the place is big enough that you can do your own thing and have a good bar-meal with friends.

I enjoy Gracie's for their great patio and varied live acts. Service on prime nights can be quite lack luster. I enjoy their fresh summer cocktails and changing menus. I just wish there was consistency in there service.

Great place to stop for dinner. We were stopping for a night and a friend from SLC recommended this place. Very cool vibe, the nonsmoking section is upstairs on the deck. The food was flavorful, the burgers and sandwiches aren't your typical burgers. I had the "Black and Bleu beef steak sandwich and I was very impressed. It was very tasty. I would come back here next time to have it again and hopefully get to catch the live music they host.

This is one of the only places downtown I will go because of the safe and inviting atmosphere. I have several friends that live around there and bribing me with the s.l.u.t bangers off the new menu worked to get me downtown! Vike was our amazing bartender and was the first to suggested it to us. Tons of great music and dancing to be had.

Juliet N.

Eh... I guess it depends on what you're into. My husband and I walked over here because it was close to our hotel. No one in the front area directed us toward any particular area, so we wandered over to the patio and sat down. We ordered a couple beers that were tasty (sorry I don't remember which). We got a cheese dip (tasted thick and reheated, I don't imagine it's house made), spicy edamame (good flavors, nothing spectacular), and angus sliders (SO MUSHY, I couldn't eat them because the texture of the meat was so off... my husband tried them and said "they taste like dog food," and that was the perfect description). My husband got a wrap I think he enjoyed. Overall I was unimpressed with the food. The server was friendly and attentive. The patio seemed to attract all the smokers, which we didn't realize when we sat down, but then it was too late. The crowd out there seemed young (early 20's), and were dressed like jersey shore cast members. Not my scene really. Upstairs there were tv's and people watching the Real Salt Lake MLS game. I think we would have had more fun up there, but that wouldn't have helped the food. Either way, I wish a hostess or someone would have given us some advice on where to sit. If you're going for a night out to party with friends you may have a better experience.

I have been coming here for lunch on and off for the past 3 years. They have been through a few different chefs and menus. Some of the menu changes have been pretty bad. However due to the proximity of my work and Gracie's, I have continued to support them. The one thing you can always count on is a wide selection of decently priced local beer. I highly recommend trying a Hop Rising double IPA Utah local brewery, Squatters. The beer is awesome, a bit dark but not too filling. It's like a 9% beer for under $6. Sold! Back to the food...tried the Eggplant Parmesan with spicy tomato sauce and angel hair pasta! Delicious. Huge portion for $12. Only available for dinner. The other important quality of this place is that the staff is genuinely cool and receptive to ideas regarding improvement on the menu. Super friendly and attentive. Upstairs bar is the best if you are in town solo and need a quick bite or beer!

The food use to be so good here!!! Like to die for good! Now Gracie's has a new menu and new chef... This place is nothing but a let down. One waitress was a complete brat when we expressed how good the old menu was, so essentially told us to get over it. We ordered the special of the day "Pork Sliders" we waited 40 minutes to get our food. Once we got the food the meat was very dry and lacked any form of flavor. Our water cups stayed un filled for most of our meal.. Don't think I'll ever come back to Gracie's again unfortunately, this place use to be my favorite.

Heather E.

Anna was our server and she treated us like were the red headed step children. The food was horrible- cold and and tasted old. Pretty much our waitress set the tone for a fast get-away. My friends soup was cold and so was my order of sliders. The ambiance was nice. But it was so disappointing.

Brandon D.

Gracie's sucks the big one. Dont bother going there ever! We booked the game room for a 30th birthday party celebration and they double booked the room telling us sorry. They couldnt do anything. We currently have 16 people to their 5 and they are moving us upstairs. We booked weeks in advance and have a confirmation number, are planning on having 30+ people here tonight and that doesn't deem to make a difference to them. They don't care about our party at all and are cramming us all into one table upstairs with a quarter of the space downstairs. Don't bother coming here or spending your money at this crappy place. It's terrible and so frustrating that theydon't have any coordination or managerial skills in their management. Don't book your party here or bother eating there, terrible food, and highly over priced drinks. This place sucks!!!

I liked this place. They have a cool concept going on with the art in the walls of the patio. It has a fun feel, live music sometimes, lots of screens to watch sports. A fun crowd for the most part and lots of bars to order from. I enjoyed it. One of the best things is standing on the second floor, watch downtown from their patio, in which (this is the most genius part) they have little bars to put your drinks there while you chat and watch, avoiding the cold hand syndrome from holding your drink all the time. I loved it.

As a SLC redident Gracie's is by far one of my favorite Saturday night spots. They also offer a delicious Sunday brunch with killer Bloody Mary's. Viking, I know, what a name, is such a fun bartender and super cute too (if you're into beards....and duh, you sould be)! He is fast and makes sure to remain very personable despite the crowds. Outside they have the game corn hole (bean bag game). So fun! I would definitly recommend Gracie's for a great time. Saturday nights are always happening, but just your average weekday is great too. Great place to grab dinner after work. The curry buger rocks!

A very good tapas menu in a cheerful bar. I also enjoyed the curry burger, which was quite a treat. Since it was a Tuesday night, I was treated to the sounds of an acoustic Paris-hot Jazz combo. It was a wonderful way to complete my visit to SLC.

Jeffrey S.

Generous, perhaps, but I saw some sparks that lead me to believe there may be four stars to be had. Firstly, it should be noted that this is some killer patio weather we've been having, and Gracie's has a killer patio to match the weather. With the giant highrise now going up the view of the mountains has been impeded, but all in all, you've got the lower patio and upper patio where patio magic happens. We sat in the lower patio and listened to the impeccably stylish tunes of the Joshua Payne Orchestra who was playing live. Under the umbrellas the sun was kept at bay. We sat too close to the fan which, once turned on, was kinda loud but added some air movement. On the plus side, it did keep any smoke from the east half of the patio where puffing is permitted from wafting over. Oh, there's drinks to be had. I can't comment on them, but you can definitely whet your whistle here. I stopped by for brunch, and there were some real highlights as well as things I may not order again. The best part is that the price is absolutely right. They start at around $7 for brunch items and go up to $11 or $12. I'll pay that. My Benedict Florentine had all the workings of a great dish, and if it could have been served a bit hotter I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to you. Unfortunately the breakfast potatoes are a pass for me next time around. Great idea, but they ended up a wee bit dry. Other dishes I saw--the massive pile of stuff plate (I forget its name, but it was big) and a big breakfast burrito. Both looked good but sit on the upper end of the price scale. Everything else aside, we need to talk about the French toast. As a kid, I always worried about sleeping over at my friends' houses for fear their mom would fix French toast for breakfast. You see, I can really stand the stuff. As a grownup I've learned to tolerate it, but there's something about eggy, soggy bread that doesn't work for me. Enter Gracie's. Gracie's, you magnificent wizards, you've done it. You've made a French toast that I not only like, but that I would order. On purpose! They call it a crÃ¨me brÃ»lÃ©e French toast and I have no idea what that means, except to say that it was a little bit crunchy, a little bit sweet, and definitely not soggy or eggy. The big, pillowy bread was the perfect bite and with just a touch of maple syrup I broke through my childhood fears and nearly wept. Best of all? The plate is $5. So there you have it. A nice bar, a full menu, night or day. It seems you have to jump around the menu and experiment a bit, but there's probably something there you'll like.

Kyle K.

Earned another star for an awesome NFL brunch. $3 bloodies, and a really nice brunch menu, including a trash-plate like breakfast with 4 eggs, bacon, really nice italian sausage, ham, crispy American potatoes, covered in a delicious, different Hollandaise. Delish. And the bartender who served us was really great -- funny, personable, yet not over the top. He tuned the TVs to the games we wanted to see, checked in on us regularly, and made sure we were well taken care of. Nice place to watch the game, with above average brunch food. It would have been a bit more fun if there were a few more people, but it certainly makes the rotation when we don't want to be in a dark basement (Bourbon House), surrounded by families (Squatters), a madhouse with bad food (Lumpy's) but still want to watch football.

This was the worst place iv been in a long time I went for my friends birthday we where club/bar hopping in the area and one of our friends demanded that we stop there so we did we got there around 9 or so and all the lady still had to pay a cover (total bull if you ask me ) so what ever we go in and my friend orders a beer we go sit down and her beer is warm so I go back to the bar and ask if I could get a cild beer the bar tender proceeds to just dump the beer that I had from one mug into another which was still not cold whatever we just let it go drink the beer and try to have a good night then I go up to order an AMF and the bartender turns and ask the guy that is making the mix drinks form a AMF and then he whispers in his ear for a good 30 seconds the guy makes my drink and give it to me I pay my 9 bucks and I go back to the table and i taste it and there was no liquor in it at all so I have everybody else at the table taste it they all agree so I go to find the manager well I'm trying to find a manager everybody that I ask to speak to the manager all ask me well are you sure so they were all questioning my judgement so finally I got a manager Jason I believe his name was he says I don't know what I can do for you other than get you another drink I said that's all I wanted this hole time is what I payed for I tasted the new one and told him the other one didn't have any liquor in it at all that this new drink taste totally different and then he asked me again well are you sure and I said yes I went back down on the patio with my friends and on my way I see Jason the manager down talking to the bartender and they are having a good old laugh will never be back this place has no class and only caters to hipsters

Great place and exceptional food. I came to SLC for a conference and ate here every night. They have a nice local crowd and friendly atmosphere. Trout taco was killer. The Burger was A+ and the Ahi roll was the perfect balance of sushi and bar appetizer. Nick the Bartender was also a good personality and clearly knows his family of customers. Thanks for making me feel welcome guys!

The food at Gracie's has gone downhill, as has the overall management and service. We sampled several apps and only actually enjoyed one. We ordered fries specifically to try the vinegar aioli but found out , only after they arrived, that they no longer come with that (despite it still being on the menu). Our fries also weren't a mix of white and sweet as is described on the menu. The chicken tenders were WAY overlooked. They came with Milcreek coffee gravy. One ramekin of gravy tasted good but the other was super bland. Meanwhile, our waitress was extremely slow getting us more drinks despite it being early and not busy. Sad to say, but I won't be going back to Gracie's an it used to be one of my favorite places.

Sara K.

I have never been one to complain like this but I wanted Gracie's to know how disappointing this is. I used to be a huge fan of Gracie food, but until recently I've been highly disappointed. Not only did the nachos use to be quite tasty, so did their many salad choices. When ordering nachos this last time, the menu made them sound enticing. But when the nachos arrived I was in shock that I had just been served what looked like nachos from a gas station. No where on the menu does it say "queso" also known as cheese whiz in Gracie's world. The menu description consists of "House Cut Tortillas, Tomatoes, JalapeÃ±os, Navy Beans, Sour Cream and Salsa; Option of Sausage, Angus Beef or Grilled Chicken". Now that sounds delicious, but little did I know there would be a large amount of red onions, tomatoes that looked and tasted like pimentos, and canned very thin sliced jalapeÃ±os, and maybe like 5 pieces of grilled chicken. All sitting in a soggy pool of cheese whiz with a very tiny amount of salsa from a ramekin to dip in. After eating some of the nachos I could dig out that did have real cheese on them. I proceeded to order a salad, the Cesar wedge. "Baby Romaine, Broken Focaccia, Beehive Aggiano Creamy Cracked Pepper Dressing, Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes". The presentation was really nice and it wasn't that bad tasting, if you like ranch on your Cesar salad. The service was good nothing to be said there, but the food has taken a turn for the worse and the prices have gone up. All I was hoping for was a steak salad and good old Gracie's nachos...

I was in town for a conference and 50 of us showed up for lunch unannounced. The staff bent over backwards to accommodate us. We were able to spread out on the front patio and enjoy the wonderful Spring weather of Salt Lake City. The staff was excellent and went out of their way to accommodate us. Excellent food and service. I would highly recomend this place if you are in the Salt Lake City area.

This is for an overall experience plus the tastemakers food they recently had a few weeks ago. First of all, the bar experience isn't that great. I wouldn't stop by for a drink. It's expensive, crowded, and just kinda eh. I think there might be a cover too but I'm not sure. Now, the only saving grace was during tastemakers, they had these ribs called "Gracie's Crown Ribs" that were AMAZING. They were so tender the meat fell off the rib and delicious. They were braised in ancho-chili BBQ sauce and this particular tasting came with some sort of seafood macaroni which was a nice complement. I don't know how much it is but I would come here just for the ribs. Actually that's a lie if they were expensive probably not but they were definitely tasty!

Came for brunch and the food was so good! I got the crab cake benedict. The service was not so great. My friends and I waited 20 minutes to get our menues and another 10 minutes just to get something else we would order. It wasn't that busy too. Great place to chill though!

5 stars for the music (Jazz band) It was what enticed me to come here as I was walking towards my fave vegan restaurant. I thought a little detour would be fun and to check out the menu. Service was 3 stars. Not friendly. Food 3 stars. I started with glass of wine and apps. The chips I ordered were stale. I decided to not go any further. Would come back for music and simple drinks.

This place is awesome any night of the week. During week nights and even days this place is very laid back and relaxed. Great chill crowd. Decent service and great taste in terms of "bar food" If you like craft beer and tasty mixed drinks then this place is for you. Weekends can be tricky, the crowd is sometimes super young and could turn into a "meat market" but still a classy crowd. Pool tables and arcade games to entertain as well as huge tvs and awesome sound system, even live music! Highly recommended!!

Gracie's is an above the grade sports bar. Great patio and inside for watching sports or hearing a band play. Food is very good the blackened salmon sandwich is cooked to perfection. Bison and Kobe beef burgers are fan favorites. A relaxing place to eat and have fun with friends.

We held our ten year class reunion at Gracie's a couple of weeks ago and it was a huge success! Everyone was extremely impressed with the food, the service and the venue. Dani and Kallie were our servers and they handled the situation very well, and were so pleasant to interact with. I have to mention that we had to do a last minute location change and Gracie's was super accommodating to our needs regardless of the limited amount of planning time. I'd definitely recommend Gracie's for large groups or just dinner for one. We had such a great time! Thanks to all the staff involved in making our event a wonderful success.

One of my favorites downtown! I always have a good time here. They have both outdoor and indoor seating, bar, and music which is cool. Their bars get pretty busy here so it takes a while to get drinks. Most of the time it's so busy it's hard to maneuver and there is always a line for the bathroom. I believe tables are also first come, first served. I heard brunch is amazing so I definitely want to try. They have amazing nachos! Don't forget there is a $5.00 cover fee at the door.. meh.

Went for lunch and dinner today. Lunch was a bad experience due to the service. It was comically bad. Our server had two tables, including us. She couldn't recommend anything on the menu (she did say it was a new menu that week) so her recommendation consisted solely of what the previous table had ordered. Funny (bad). The worse part was that she brought out the wrong dish. Then forgot about us. Then when she remembered us, she came and filled our empty water glasses instead of asking if we wanted a check (we had been sitting there for a good 20 minutes with napkins on plates. It was a Tuesday, and we had ties on.... Clearly this was a work lunch). There's more.... We finally got the check because I walked to the bar to ask for it. She brought one that wasn't itemized. I asked for itemized. She brought a check with an item we didn't order. Again, there were two tables in the entire place that had guests. Again, comically poor. I think this is the kind of place that hires servers if they have nose rings instead of asking if they've ever served before. As for the food, my coworker hated the nachos but I liked the kale/quinoa salad (The Matadoro as I recall). The ceviche was pretty good too, but it's kind of an easy cop out when it's shrimp based. Go trout or go home. Even with this experience, I went back in the evening because I like quizzo (or, "Drinks with Geeks" or something). The atmosphere was solid. Good quiz master. Great waitress. Bartender likes to go on and on about how back in '82, they would've won State if they only put him in the game in the 4th quarter. Nice guy though. 2 stars for lunch and food. 3 stars for evening and drinks. Server with the long straight very blonde hair-- every server should work as hard as you do.

I normally come here for a drink late in the day, so this was the first time i came here for lunch. Contrary to popular beliefs, they actually have a pretty decent lunch food that has nothing to do with alcohol (although you still have to show your ID to get into the restaurant). Mostly are bar type foods though, like sandwiches and wraps. I had Curry Burger today. It was good. It has caramelized onions that I always like. In In-N-Out, we call this Animal Style. The cheese was thick. Despite its name, I did not taste the curry flavor. I let Edwin tried it, and he mentioned there was a tiny bit curry flavor, but I think he just wanted to prove he has a better taste buds than me. He had the Steak Wrap. I tried his and I thought it was pretty decent. It was huge though. We also had Chicken Wings because I have been craving for them, Edwin said it was all I talked about the whole week. They were no Buffalo Wild Wings but enough to satisfy my crave. I have to point out that these food although good, are not the absolute best in town. The main advantage of this place (beside the booze) is their patio seatings, especially on the second floor patio. You don't come here for gourmet burgers especially but for the whole experience, to suck up downtown living in a nice early summer day. Probably with a glass of beer or two.

Came here for a girls brunch and had a great time. The atmosphere is nice, we were able to sit outside under the shaded patio and listen to good music playing overhead that wasn't too loud. We had fried pickles for an appetizer which were SO good. I had a Bloody Mary and it was one of the best I have had. My friends all enjoyed their cocktails as well. The food was delicious and came out pretty fast as well! Our waitress was great too. All in all it was a good experience!

Tania S.

Came in for drinks and dinner with colleagues who were in from out of town. The atmosphere is casual and fun. The top floor patio is fantastic, as is the view. I ordered the Souvlaki which has its own rich pork belly, semi-sweet and perfectly portioned. It's topped with cabbage, onions, red onions, and a tinge of garlic. On the side, some stringy fries and a perfect alotment of ketchup with your meal. Seems like everyone at the table enjoyed themselves and the food. It's always a little nerve-wracking showing folks around, but Gracie's is a great balance of Salt Lake friendliness (our server was so sweet!) and "down for the party" pub. Over some cocktails, it was awesome. There's something on the menu for everyone no matter what your taste... If your corporate card is swaying you towards a glass of Pinot, that's quite okay too... Pricing I think is also one of the many upsides, among others. Now I need to get back here for brunch.

Super mediocre. The place has a great location, awesome outdoor seating, loads of potential...with little to no delivery. The food was uninspired. I did the hot wings as app...the wing sauce was terrible, it seems like they use a cheap imitation version of wing sauce, it just tasted fake or processed, like it came out of a bag and has a 30 year shelf life. How do you screw up wing sauce? The blue cheese was terrible...I am not sure if this was another example of low quality sourced product, or the cooks are just completely clueless. I had a steak salad as an entree. The romain had that should-I-throw-this-out flavor; no, still good, I think I'll serve it to my customer. Overall, not a terrible experience, but in no way was it good. I also oppose the category that some asshole attributed to this porta john excuse for a restaurant, "Gastropub." This place is a Gastropub as much as Chili's is a fine dining destination. No disrespect...Chili's is better than this bowl movement of a restaurant.

First of all, I love the rooftop seating at Gracie's. We came here the Sunday of Pride weekend for brunch. It was an absolutely beautiful morning and the rooftop seating was super comfy. Also, there were rainbow bracelets on the tables. A+. For food I ordered biscuits and gravy. I wasn't sure originally about the fact that they were spicy, but the more I ate the more I enjoyed them. The gravy was well done and there was more than enough of it for the size of the biscuits. Also, the potatoes that are served with them were fantastic! My only complaint is that our waiter was very dull... Like the kind of dull where they a. don't really have a personality and b. forget a bunch of the stuff you order. Honestly that's my only reason for taking away a star.

Gracie's did a find job taking care of our 14 person group. Reservations are accepted, honored, and appreciated which is becoming a thing of the past at most places. I can't tell if this is more restaurant or bar, but it was a nice meld. It felt like this is where the older crowd (us) came for dinner and a few drinks while the younger crowd stopped in for more of a "pre game" dinner before hitting the rest of the town. Beer selection was good, mixed drinks were great (the wife had a blackberry basil concoction that was to die for) and the food was excellent. Personally I ordered the Curry burger which was a little light on the curry flavor but was still excellent. Big and juicy, just the way it should be. The seafood Mac N Cheese was tasty and nobody had leftovers which tells you the food was good.

1) sausage fest. It's usually just a bunch of older guys trying to hit on the few females present 2) One of the only places in SLC that charges a cover. ($5 but still, it's SLC) 3) $6 parking 4) poor service 5) mediocre beer selection at a "gastropub" 6) characterless decor 7) food is nothing to write home about

Honestly I have never been a fan of their food. Its over priced and not good. We came for brunch and I let My friend eat my ranchero breakfast. It had pork verde on it that was bland and flavorless. My eggs were cooked wrong. So egg yolk was all over everything. Yuck. Not for me. They were out of biscuits and it was only 11 am so I wasn't able to order the hangover. Even the beer is over priced. No thanks.

Vanesa V.

Service was extremely slow! We sat around for a good 30 minutes before we even got our drinks. However, the drinks are pretty cheap. My friend got the big sized beers and they were only $6.

Crystal H.

This place was a great place to spend the whole night at. The one downside of this place was the $5 cover that they had. It wasn't late into the night nor was it crowded so we were surprised that there was a cover. After about an hour, people started dancing on the dance floor and so it was more entertaining. The music however was not my taste of choice. It was a sort of an old school r&b. But we did have a lot of fun because we just enjoyed the ambiance and the drinks were relatively cheap. I would come back with a large group but hopefully there won't be a cover.

KC C.

Had a very nice lunch here. Enjoyed the patio seating especially with 75 degree weather! Good service and a nice selection of food considering this is a bar. Had the blackened Salmon sandwich. Nicely presented, good flavor and all around a good dish. Came with a salad (a choice of salad or fries) and I ordered the cucumber dressing...creative. Stop in while in town.

Per everyone's recommendation, I had the CURRY BURGER for lunch. Amazing burger if you like curry. Not overpowering. Try it!!

Amir N.

Usually I come to Gracie's for nightlife, but I tried them out during the day for a change. Sunday brunch menu looked very enticing but all I stuck with was the Tiger Bloody Mary. That was a meal in its own. So much going on you don't even know how to start drinking it. As far as Bloody Mary's go, it tasted pretty damn good. If you've read any of my other reviews you'll know how much I love bacon and the crispy bacon strip that garnished this drink was the perfect touch. The only downside to the brunch was the music. Having live music is good but I couldn't hear anything my friend was saying. Keep the music, but more so as an ambiance not as the main attraction for a brunch. It also could have been because I sat downstairs instead of upstairs but that shouldn't have mattered in my opinion. 3 stars for now but looking forward to going back for a complete brunch experience and most likely an updated review.

Frequent brunch visitor that no longer will be a regular. Gracie's has recently upped their mimosa prices from $3 to $5 with no noticeable increase in quantity or quality. Can't help but think this is blatant price gauging. Even worse, they failed to let us know before we sat down & when i asked for an explanation couldn't get a straight answer besides putting blame on Utah's liquor system.

Gracie's is another one of my go-to spots in downtown SLC. Why, you my ask? Well, they've got it all. Live music, an awesome patio, and yummy food. I also can't forget about their delicious drinks and cool bartenders. This is one of Salt Lake's larger bars with 2 levels. They have an upstairs and downstairs patio and a bar on each floor. The bathrooms are always pretty tidy despite getting super packed in the evenings. On the weekend, they have a great brunch menu. I've tried the hangover, creme brulee french toast, and most recently their crab cake benedict - all were very good. I'm in love with their siracha ketchup and sweet potato fries as well. This isn't just your regular bar fare, this place is a gastropub and is definitely a step above other bars that serve food. My only complaint is that service is pretty slow during brunch. We were seated for 15 minutes before a waitress came around to bring us menus. When I finally decided to get up and grab some menus for my table, a girl came out and rudely said I didn't have the right ones and snatched them out of my hands. I was pretty taken aback, but thankfully our actual server was kind. Other than this gripe, I'd usually give Gracie's 4 stars.

Kyle M.

Gracie's reminds me of the girl you chase in high school who gives you all signals that she is into you. Then, when it comes time to ask her for a date, she laughs and laughs at you and calls you a loser in front of your friends. Gracie's is the loser. What kind of piece of dirt establishment will advertise that they are open past 11a with food then shuts down their kitchen before 10p? There are 7,000 extra people in this town for a summit. They are drinking and they are hungry. Don't be lazy - stay open a few hours longer, make some money and feed the people.

Alicia N.

Pretty disappointed in the service. We had to go get our own plates and silverware. Asked for drinks 3 times before getting them. Our server had 12 tables which is totally too many. Not impressed with this place at all, we won't be back.

Andrew S.

Gracie's is a really nice bar overall and a fun place to visit. It has a great, friendly, atmosphere added to by relaxing yet upbeat background music. The inside bar is huge and double sided but the real gem for me is the outside patio area. It reminds me of being on vacation in Spain or the Caribbean with the awnings and lava heat lamps. Really nice. Even on a Friday evening at 8pm this place is not really too busy, and it seems to appeal more to the middle age crowd which inherently appeals to me since, well, I am middle aged, and makes Gracie's more appealing for a relaxing time than some of the other downtown bars that tend to attract the younger early twenties folks. They also have a really good food menu with some very novel items, this not your regular bar food. I had the Kobe Cyclops which is grilled Kobe beef with fried egg, smoked cheddar, creamy Worcestershire and onions all on top of Focaccia bread. This was awesome and I would get this again. The sweet potato fries I got with it were also pretty decent as bar food goes. Service here is super friendly and was for the most part fast and they check up on you regularly. Overall a fun place and somewhere I would definitely visit again.

If you're looking for a romantic date spot or a fun place to go with friends then Gracie's is the place to go! My husband and I wanted dinner on the patio on a Friday night but all the tables outside were taken so we ended up at a table upstairs. We asked our waitress, Cali, if she could let us know if a table became available outside and she said she would and she did! Right after we got our food one became available on the second floor patio overlooking the patio downstairs. It was perfect! City lights, a summer breeze, and fun music coming from the downstairs. AND, we both loved our entrees and our drinks. I had the steak salad, with the steak cooked a perfect medium-rare, ripe cherry tomatoes, crispy fried onions, and a very tasty ranch/blue cheese dressing. My husband's chicken Marsala was flavorful and the mashed potatoes subtlety garlicky. For what we wanted it was right on the mark! We lingered on the patio after our dinner for awhile to enjoy the ambience. Cali's service topped this night off. She was attentive, friendly, and cheerful! We want to go back soon for brunch!

Natalie T.

I've been multiple times and have yet to have a good dining experience at Gracie's. The bar service is top notch, but it shouldn't take an hour to get a dozen wings and another 45 minutes to get a side of ranch. My poor waitress was doing her best, but you could tell that she had way too much territory to cover and because of that we were very neglected. Hire more wait staff and tell your kitchen staff to pull their shit together. It's not like you're a new restaurant and still trying to get your rhythm. Put on your big boy pants and get the job done.

Ray M.

Well, aside from the standard pour being 1 oz, this place is great. Nice patio and terrace area to soak in the summer sun. They have tons of local beer with high ABV and of course options with lower (~3%) ABV. Right smack downtown so this can be your warm up spot before heading out for the rest of the night. Staff is friendly and attentive. Food is normal bar fare but tastes good. Hooray for Salt Lake City!

Six dollar parking. Five Dollar Saturday night cover charge. No live music. Crowded. Bad decoration and atmosphere. Layout is strange and awkward. Drinks are overpriced (ten dollar wine). Need I say more? I guess if you're in college and want to pay for overpriced drinks and feel like you're in a cool bar scene, be my guest. Me? I'll go to a place that actually has character and personality, no cover charge, and affordable drinks.

A buddy and me stopped by for pre-dinner drinks and ended up getting wings too. The red agave wings were really good (sweet with heat - think buffalo with an easy finish). The house Old Fashioned was spot on ($10) too. We sat on the patio which was nice but there was a lot of smoking.

Probably my favorite bar in Salt Lake. I love when bars have big outdoor patios like this one. The music is good for dancing when you go on Fridays or Saturdays. Bartenders are nice also. The game room is fun too. I love watching drunk people playing ski ball.

Taylor C.

Kyle at Gracie's thinks he has all the control. He was just at the door letting people in. I waiting in line and let my brother and his friend come join with me. He witnessed and said I was no longer welcome at the bar. Other than that Gracie's is the best bar in slc. I would highly recommend the bar but watch out for the old man Kyle.

Ryan T.

I've eaten here a few times. The food is ok. There is something for everybody and an extensive drink menu. The venue is great too. The other constant: awful service. Bad. Always. Yet i keep showing up when i'm in town. I literally just sat there for 30 minutes waiting for a server/trying to get one's attention. No dice. Oh yeah, and the band was a half hour late going on. Goodbye forever.

Rebecca B.

I am kinda torn about how many stars to give this place. I personally probably wouldn't go back for the food. But it could have just been what I got. As a vegetarian I didn't have a whole lot of options. we ended up going here because the wait at squatters was too long. I ordered the Veggie wrap. I asked for no cheese, I got cheese, which is kinda annoying but I could pick it out so I survived. But the wrap in general was super bland , bland black beans, bland sweet potato puree in a cold hard to chew spinach tortilla you would find in any grocery store. I would say the apple vinaigrette on my salad was very good. My companions got the curry burger which they said was really good, and also they said the soup which had bacon in it was good. Beside the cheese when I asked for no cheese the server was very good and very attentive, filled up our waters even when we were done and just chatting and had already paid the bill and she was very good at checking to make sure everything was ok and that we didn't need anything else. So I could have complained about the cheese and I am sure she would have fixed it. But no one wants to be THAT person. All this summed together I would say 3 stars is very fair. And that I would not recommend the wraps. Also people I know do speak very highly of the nachos and the brunch menu.

Noah H.

Whoa! This place has it all! Upstairs restaurant/bar Downstairs live music club/bar Patio for dining, drinking, carousing, or playing any of the lawn games they have setup out there! We had the nachos (which were delicious, and huge!), several of the beers, some of the wines, and a few more of the appetizers (the fried and breaded cheese plate stands out in my memory) The service was excellent, the drinks were delicious, and I found myself having a hard time choosing between items on the menu because I wanted to try all of them! With luck, I'll get another chance to try it all. But! Until I do, I recommend anyone and everyone reading this takes a stab at it!
(5)
Amy W.

The patios are definitely the biggest selling point and very enjoyable. The beer/wine list is fine but nothing to write home about. The food is super lacking. I don't think they really understand what a gastropub is, or perhaps trying to do what other restaurants do but just don't get it. Bottom line, go here if you're in the area and want a nice outdoor experience but if you'e looking for good food, go elsewhere.

Gracies is a fun place in the summer. Lots of room out side, with two patios. It's good vibes and fun times. All of the staff is friendly! The only thing that I don't like is the djs the have. They play horrible dance music. I don't want house music. However I would like so new music that has come out with in the last 3 months.

James H.

The deliciousness of "The Hangover" from their brunch/breakfast menu made up for the very average service (no prawn and/or bacon strip for my Gracie's "Special" Bloody Mary). My girlfriend ordered the Hawaiian French Toast platter that we didn't end up finishing there (I did the next morning though).
(4)
Eian N.

Ok here's the deal, I've been coming to Gracie's for a LONG time. Sunday Brunch and the Crab Mac and Cheese have been my long time favorites. Sunday Brunch was the best for me because of the quick service, the Sunday Mary's and the BACON. My boyfriend LOVED their Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict. Gracies seems to have had a LOT of turn over in staff because the wait staff on Sundays struggles to keep drinks and coffee filled, a huge pet peeve of mine. Sunday Brunch has change WAY too much I've heard they have gone through a few different chef's in the last year. Please Please Please, STOP. Bring back your bacon, literally last weekend it tasted and looked like turkey bacon. Also stuff is staying under the heat lamps too long before it comes out and the sauces are drying up before they even get to the table. I want to LOVE you guys again not just feel, meh about you.

Drew B.

I was in town for work and decided to try Gracie's for dinner. It was a Monday night and there was a very nice jazz-ish band playing, which was the best part of my visit. I ordered the Nacho (small size) and Veggie Wrap. The "small" nacho was huge! And for $7 dollars you can't beat that. The Veggie Wrap was disappointing though. All I could taste was black beans. The menu had a variety of choices with many healthy options and was not standard pub menu by any means. Service was slow and below average, which is another reason for my mediocre review. The server didn't ask how my food was, offer me another beer when I was finished or attempt to engage with me besides introducing himself when I first sat down. If you want an average place with good live music and average food at a competitive price then Gracie's is a great place. Plan to pay $6 for parking as well...

I've been here twice in the last couple of weeks. Once for lunch and today for Brunch. Both times I sat on the balcony. I like the balcony because it is facing either east or north so that the afternoon sun isn't beaming down on you. It's also spacious with a couple of tv's up here too. The service each time has been wonderful. However the food is amazing especially for the price! For lunch I had the Angus Sliders with Sharp Cheddar($4) and Cheese Fritters($4). The sliders were a little dry but still good. Fritters were great too. But can't go wrong with fried cheese. She had the Turkey and Avocado sandwich($9) with BLT Pasta Salad on the side, which was AWESOME! When I came back for Bunch I had the Ancho-Cheddar Biscuits and Gravy($8) which was tasty. The gravy was great, and the biscuits were awesome. They were a little stingy with the gravy but unlike you're regular biscuits & gravy the biscuits here have a lot of flavor. I also like the sprinkle of cheese on top. It comes with country potatoes which were full of flavor and didn't even need ketchup! She had the CrÃ¨me Brule French Toast($5) which was delicious. I was satisfied with my two visits and will definitely come back for dinner on there lovely balcony and/or for some live music. --This place is a diamond in the rough. BONUS- *$3 Mimosa's for brunch!

Michele B.

Kinda disappointed. Our food was mediocre. I had the Rubin & I think it sat under the heat lamp too long. My husband got the seafood Mac & cheese. Very lame. Grated cheese on top of penne pasta with small, over cooked shrimp. Sauce tasted like flower & milk. The steak wrap was just ok. We had 4 beers total & our tab was just over $80! The server was OK, but never asked how the food was or I would have told her instead of yelp. We used to just love this place about 2 years ago...the food was great. But the last few visits have been so disappointing, we won't be back. Kinda sad. Fun place to have a drink...but best eat elsewhere.

Gracie's circa 2010 was awesome. There was a different chef, the food was good and it was the place to go to! Gracie's five years later: IT SUCKS! This place has gone downhill! The new chef is two thumbs down. The food is overpriced and Denny's taste better. Literally. They call themselves a gastropub. They should call themselves a meat market with below average food. They'd actually be better off serving normal bar food rather than trying to serve fancy menu items that taste awful. This place doesn't know if they want to be a bar, club, pub, restaurant or what! The staff is not great either. We had an issue with our food order. The waitress brought out multiple items that were wrong. We were really cool about it and didn't make a big deal. When we told the big, bald manager he was not helpful and made our table feel like we had done something wrong by providing him with feedback about our experience. Not cool. He offered to do nothing and not sure if he even said sorry. Not sure who hired him but someone must have owed someone a favor. Gracie's is the place to go to if you're not hungry, looking for a Jagger red bull and a d-bag wearing bedazzled jeans. They should change the name to the Jersey Shore because that sums up this place perfectly!!

This place is awesome any night of the week. During week nights and even days this place is very laid back and relaxed. Great chill crowd. Decent service and great taste in terms of "bar food" If you like craft beer and tasty mixed drinks then this place is for you. Weekends can be tricky, the crowd is sometimes super young and could turn into a "meat market" but still a classy crowd. Pool tables and arcade games to entertain as well as huge tvs and awesome sound system, even live music! Highly recommended!!

Gracie's is an above the grade sports bar. Great patio and inside for watching sports or hearing a band play. Food is very good the blackened salmon sandwich is cooked to perfection. Bison and Kobe beef burgers are fan favorites. A relaxing place to eat and have fun with friends.

Went for lunch and dinner today. Lunch was a bad experience due to the service. It was comically bad. Our server had two tables, including us. She couldn't recommend anything on the menu (she did say it was a new menu that week) so her recommendation consisted solely of what the previous table had ordered. Funny (bad). The worse part was that she brought out the wrong dish. Then forgot about us. Then when she remembered us, she came and filled our empty water glasses instead of asking if we wanted a check (we had been sitting there for a good 20 minutes with napkins on plates. It was a Tuesday, and we had ties on.... Clearly this was a work lunch). There's more.... We finally got the check because I walked to the bar to ask for it. She brought one that wasn't itemized. I asked for itemized. She brought a check with an item we didn't order. Again, there were two tables in the entire place that had guests. Again, comically poor. I think this is the kind of place that hires servers if they have nose rings instead of asking if they've ever served before. As for the food, my coworker hated the nachos but I liked the kale/quinoa salad (The Matadoro as I recall). The ceviche was pretty good too, but it's kind of an easy cop out when it's shrimp based. Go trout or go home. Even with this experience, I went back in the evening because I like quizzo (or, "Drinks with Geeks" or something). The atmosphere was solid. Good quiz master. Great waitress. Bartender likes to go on and on about how back in '82, they would've won State if they only put him in the game in the 4th quarter. Nice guy though. 2 stars for lunch and food. 3 stars for evening and drinks. Server with the long straight very blonde hair-- every server should work as hard as you do.

I normally come here for a drink late in the day, so this was the first time i came here for lunch. Contrary to popular beliefs, they actually have a pretty decent lunch food that has nothing to do with alcohol (although you still have to show your ID to get into the restaurant). Mostly are bar type foods though, like sandwiches and wraps. I had Curry Burger today. It was good. It has caramelized onions that I always like. In In-N-Out, we call this Animal Style. The cheese was thick. Despite its name, I did not taste the curry flavor. I let Edwin tried it, and he mentioned there was a tiny bit curry flavor, but I think he just wanted to prove he has a better taste buds than me. He had the Steak Wrap. I tried his and I thought it was pretty decent. It was huge though. We also had Chicken Wings because I have been craving for them, Edwin said it was all I talked about the whole week. They were no Buffalo Wild Wings but enough to satisfy my crave. I have to point out that these food although good, are not the absolute best in town. The main advantage of this place (beside the booze) is their patio seatings, especially on the second floor patio. You don't come here for gourmet burgers especially but for the whole experience, to suck up downtown living in a nice early summer day. Probably with a glass of beer or two.

We held our ten year class reunion at Gracie's a couple of weeks ago and it was a huge success! Everyone was extremely impressed with the food, the service and the venue. Dani and Kallie were our servers and they handled the situation very well, and were so pleasant to interact with. I have to mention that we had to do a last minute location change and Gracie's was super accommodating to our needs regardless of the limited amount of planning time. I'd definitely recommend Gracie's for large groups or just dinner for one. We had such a great time! Thanks to all the staff involved in making our event a wonderful success.

One of my favorites downtown! I always have a good time here. They have both outdoor and indoor seating, bar, and music which is cool. Their bars get pretty busy here so it takes a while to get drinks. Most of the time it's so busy it's hard to maneuver and there is always a line for the bathroom. I believe tables are also first come, first served. I heard brunch is amazing so I definitely want to try. They have amazing nachos! Don't forget there is a $5.00 cover fee at the door.. meh.

Came for brunch and the food was so good! I got the crab cake benedict. The service was not so great. My friends and I waited 20 minutes to get our menues and another 10 minutes just to get something else we would order. It wasn't that busy too. Great place to chill though!

5 stars for the music (Jazz band) It was what enticed me to come here as I was walking towards my fave vegan restaurant. I thought a little detour would be fun and to check out the menu. Service was 3 stars. Not friendly. Food 3 stars. I started with glass of wine and apps. The chips I ordered were stale. I decided to not go any further. Would come back for music and simple drinks.

Came here for a girls brunch and had a great time. The atmosphere is nice, we were able to sit outside under the shaded patio and listen to good music playing overhead that wasn't too loud. We had fried pickles for an appetizer which were SO good. I had a Bloody Mary and it was one of the best I have had. My friends all enjoyed their cocktails as well. The food was delicious and came out pretty fast as well! Our waitress was great too. All in all it was a good experience!

Came in for drinks and dinner with colleagues who were in from out of town. The atmosphere is casual and fun. The top floor patio is fantastic, as is the view. I ordered the Souvlaki which has its own rich pork belly, semi-sweet and perfectly portioned. It's topped with cabbage, onions, red onions, and a tinge of garlic. On the side, some stringy fries and a perfect alotment of ketchup with your meal. Seems like everyone at the table enjoyed themselves and the food. It's always a little nerve-wracking showing folks around, but Gracie's is a great balance of Salt Lake friendliness (our server was so sweet!) and "down for the party" pub. Over some cocktails, it was awesome. There's something on the menu for everyone no matter what your taste... If your corporate card is swaying you towards a glass of Pinot, that's quite okay too... Pricing I think is also one of the many upsides, among others. Now I need to get back here for brunch.

Super mediocre. The place has a great location, awesome outdoor seating, loads of potential...with little to no delivery. The food was uninspired. I did the hot wings as app...the wing sauce was terrible, it seems like they use a cheap imitation version of wing sauce, it just tasted fake or processed, like it came out of a bag and has a 30 year shelf life. How do you screw up wing sauce? The blue cheese was terrible...I am not sure if this was another example of low quality sourced product, or the cooks are just completely clueless. I had a steak salad as an entree. The romain had that should-I-throw-this-out flavor; no, still good, I think I'll serve it to my customer. Overall, not a terrible experience, but in no way was it good. I also oppose the category that some asshole attributed to this porta john excuse for a restaurant, "Gastropub." This place is a Gastropub as much as Chili's is a fine dining destination. No disrespect...Chili's is better than this bowl movement of a restaurant.

First of all, I love the rooftop seating at Gracie's. We came here the Sunday of Pride weekend for brunch. It was an absolutely beautiful morning and the rooftop seating was super comfy. Also, there were rainbow bracelets on the tables. A+. For food I ordered biscuits and gravy. I wasn't sure originally about the fact that they were spicy, but the more I ate the more I enjoyed them. The gravy was well done and there was more than enough of it for the size of the biscuits. Also, the potatoes that are served with them were fantastic! My only complaint is that our waiter was very dull... Like the kind of dull where they a. don't really have a personality and b. forget a bunch of the stuff you order. Honestly that's my only reason for taking away a star.

Gracie's did a find job taking care of our 14 person group. Reservations are accepted, honored, and appreciated which is becoming a thing of the past at most places. I can't tell if this is more restaurant or bar, but it was a nice meld. It felt like this is where the older crowd (us) came for dinner and a few drinks while the younger crowd stopped in for more of a "pre game" dinner before hitting the rest of the town. Beer selection was good, mixed drinks were great (the wife had a blackberry basil concoction that was to die for) and the food was excellent. Personally I ordered the Curry burger which was a little light on the curry flavor but was still excellent. Big and juicy, just the way it should be. The seafood Mac N Cheese was tasty and nobody had leftovers which tells you the food was good.

Honestly I have never been a fan of their food. Its over priced and not good. We came for brunch and I let My friend eat my ranchero breakfast. It had pork verde on it that was bland and flavorless. My eggs were cooked wrong. So egg yolk was all over everything. Yuck. Not for me. They were out of biscuits and it was only 11 am so I wasn't able to order the hangover. Even the beer is over priced. No thanks.

Service was extremely slow! We sat around for a good 30 minutes before we even got our drinks. However, the drinks are pretty cheap. My friend got the big sized beers and they were only $6.

Crystal H.

This place was a great place to spend the whole night at. The one downside of this place was the $5 cover that they had. It wasn't late into the night nor was it crowded so we were surprised that there was a cover. After about an hour, people started dancing on the dance floor and so it was more entertaining. The music however was not my taste of choice. It was a sort of an old school r&b. But we did have a lot of fun because we just enjoyed the ambiance and the drinks were relatively cheap. I would come back with a large group but hopefully there won't be a cover.

Amir N.

Usually I come to Gracie's for nightlife, but I tried them out during the day for a change. Sunday brunch menu looked very enticing but all I stuck with was the Tiger Bloody Mary. That was a meal in its own. So much going on you don't even know how to start drinking it. As far as Bloody Mary's go, it tasted pretty damn good. If you've read any of my other reviews you'll know how much I love bacon and the crispy bacon strip that garnished this drink was the perfect touch. The only downside to the brunch was the music. Having live music is good but I couldn't hear anything my friend was saying. Keep the music, but more so as an ambiance not as the main attraction for a brunch. It also could have been because I sat downstairs instead of upstairs but that shouldn't have mattered in my opinion. 3 stars for now but looking forward to going back for a complete brunch experience and most likely an updated review.

Frequent brunch visitor that no longer will be a regular. Gracie's has recently upped their mimosa prices from $3 to $5 with no noticeable increase in quantity or quality. Can't help but think this is blatant price gauging. Even worse, they failed to let us know before we sat down & when i asked for an explanation couldn't get a straight answer besides putting blame on Utah's liquor system.

Ray M.

Well, aside from the standard pour being 1 oz, this place is great. Nice patio and terrace area to soak in the summer sun. They have tons of local beer with high ABV and of course options with lower (~3%) ABV. Right smack downtown so this can be your warm up spot before heading out for the rest of the night. Staff is friendly and attentive. Food is normal bar fare but tastes good. Hooray for Salt Lake City!

Monica V.

Gracie's is another one of my go-to spots in downtown SLC. Why, you my ask? Well, they've got it all. Live music, an awesome patio, and yummy food. I also can't forget about their delicious drinks and cool bartenders. This is one of Salt Lake's larger bars with 2 levels. They have an upstairs and downstairs patio and a bar on each floor. The bathrooms are always pretty tidy despite getting super packed in the evenings. On the weekend, they have a great brunch menu. I've tried the hangover, creme brulee french toast, and most recently their crab cake benedict - all were very good. I'm in love with their siracha ketchup and sweet potato fries as well. This isn't just your regular bar fare, this place is a gastropub and is definitely a step above other bars that serve food. My only complaint is that service is pretty slow during brunch. We were seated for 15 minutes before a waitress came around to bring us menus. When I finally decided to get up and grab some menus for my table, a girl came out and rudely said I didn't have the right ones and snatched them out of my hands. I was pretty taken aback, but thankfully our actual server was kind. Other than this gripe, I'd usually give Gracie's 4 stars.

Kyle M.

Gracie's reminds me of the girl you chase in high school who gives you all signals that she is into you. Then, when it comes time to ask her for a date, she laughs and laughs at you and calls you a loser in front of your friends. Gracie's is the loser. What kind of piece of dirt establishment will advertise that they are open past 11a with food then shuts down their kitchen before 10p? There are 7,000 extra people in this town for a summit. They are drinking and they are hungry. Don't be lazy - stay open a few hours longer, make some money and feed the people.

Had a very nice lunch here. Enjoyed the patio seating especially with 75 degree weather! Good service and a nice selection of food considering this is a bar. Had the blackened Salmon sandwich. Nicely presented, good flavor and all around a good dish. Came with a salad (a choice of salad or fries) and I ordered the cucumber dressing...creative. Stop in while in town.

Per everyone's recommendation, I had the CURRY BURGER for lunch. Amazing burger if you like curry. Not overpowering. Try it!!

Michele B.

Kinda disappointed. Our food was mediocre. I had the Rubin & I think it sat under the heat lamp too long. My husband got the seafood Mac & cheese. Very lame. Grated cheese on top of penne pasta with small, over cooked shrimp. Sauce tasted like flower & milk. The steak wrap was just ok. We had 4 beers total & our tab was just over $80! The server was OK, but never asked how the food was or I would have told her instead of yelp. We used to just love this place about 2 years ago...the food was great. But the last few visits have been so disappointing, we won't be back. Kinda sad. Fun place to have a drink...but best eat elsewhere.

My boyfriend and I were browsing downtown and thought a pub would be a great choice for a Friday night. As we sat, it took about 15 minutes to get menus for a pretty steady crowd. We ordered our drinks and got it in another 15 minutes. We were in no rush that night but the service was okay. The waitress was very nice. Dinner was decent. I had the eggplant Parmesan and my boyfriend had a classic burger. We only came here since the waiting time at squatters was 2 hours. I might come back but only for drinks.

Gracie's circa 2010 was awesome. There was a different chef, the food was good and it was the place to go to! Gracie's five years later: IT SUCKS! This place has gone downhill! The new chef is two thumbs down. The food is overpriced and Denny's taste better. Literally. They call themselves a gastropub. They should call themselves a meat market with below average food. They'd actually be better off serving normal bar food rather than trying to serve fancy menu items that taste awful. This place doesn't know if they want to be a bar, club, pub, restaurant or what! The staff is not great either. We had an issue with our food order. The waitress brought out multiple items that were wrong. We were really cool about it and didn't make a big deal. When we told the big, bald manager he was not helpful and made our table feel like we had done something wrong by providing him with feedback about our experience. Not cool. He offered to do nothing and not sure if he even said sorry. Not sure who hired him but someone must have owed someone a favor. Gracie's is the place to go to if you're not hungry, looking for a Jagger red bull and a d-bag wearing bedazzled jeans. They should change the name to the Jersey Shore because that sums up this place perfectly!!

Came here for Sunday brunch and sat out on the patio, which was nice. I ordered the French toast that was to die for! The service was a little slow and inaccurate for how many empty tables there were but all and all not a bad experience. I'd come back for the food and to see if the service improves.

Brittany W.

This is the best brunch I have had in a long time!! We ordered the creme brÃ»lÃ©e French toast and the hangover to share. The French toast was amazing!! It was crispy on the edges, and soft but not mushy in the middle. The hangover is cheesy potatoes covered in meat and hollandaise sauce. The sauce was creamy and had loads of flavor. Will be coming back!

The table layout with the dance floor is so odd it is annoying. I wish they would get rid of the tables in this area after 10PM. It just doesn't work. The bar is often times filled over capacity and it an absolute joke after 12. Why would anyone in the world come out to drink with t-minus 59 minutes to get a drink? Upstairs during the winter winter is at least 175 degrees. Alright --- The good stuff. Place is often bumping and there can be some talent had if you look close. Cougars and young pumas on the prowl come here on the rotation through the SLC bar loop. Food is pretty good for a bar and the bottled beer is cold.

Annette S.

Two stars only cause we had 4 rounds of drinks and a meal (that sucked for me not for my husband) for $64! Considering what we have paid for one round and a meal for same price that's not too bad for a Sunday brunch. Now to my lack luster faux eggs Benedict....that deserves zero stars. My "poached" eggs where boiled eggs that were previously refrigerated and then thrown atop my veggie/English muffin with hot hollandaise. So I had cold boiled eggs...no run to the eggs like a proper eggs Benedict. Disgusting and uncalled for. Waitress was too busy acting like a thirsty floozy and clearly trying to flirt with every guy at the table. That's not how you get a good tip when there is ladies at the table. No game. On the other hand my husbands burger was quite flavorful and juicy! The ambience wasn't that bad, someone was playing some house music on patio and live band after. One more thing guy at the door when we first entered, older man with too much attitude, can scale back on the 'tude. It's supposed to be a fun Sunday brunch place so losing the "I don't care" attitude would help, especially since it's our first time here and we were clearly not from Utah as you had seen our ID's.

The food here is hit or miss. In the evening when it's crowded it's definitely a miss. Usually we end up here at the end of the night so it's a good time. But the last couple times we ended here less than intoxicated it was a real eye opener. There are A LOT of dudes here. Maybe a few gems but who knows. In fact, last time, we sat up stairs on the balcony so we could people watch down below. ALL DUDES. Maybe one or two chicks but it was like a serious "where's waldo" situation. I mean, don't get me wrong, i'm a woman so if there are more guys than girls that fine but when the scale is seriously tipped it's just not as fun. Other than that and the "okay" food its just, okay i guess.

Food was OK. Service was OK. Don't sit outside if you don't like breathing 2nd hand smoke though - the patio is essentially the smoking lounge.

The worst customer service I have ever experienced!!!! I got a drink spilled all down the back of my leg down my shoes and all in my purse by the bartender. I turned around to see who spilled the drink and I saw a waitress (Amber) and thought she spilled it. My friends said to her calmly "someone just spilled a drink on my friend" and the waitress got all defensive and started to attack my friends. Next thing we know there's a bouncer telling us that my friends getting kicked out because the waitress didn't want her there. Of course we were upset because nothing happened, we were talking amongst ourselves saying the waitress spilled a whole drink down me and ruined my shoes and she (over listening our conversation) starts to freak out on us and got all upset and said we were giving her attitude which didn't happen. A group of 15 people and they kicked us out because a whole drink was spilled on a paying customer and their waitress was the one that made a scene and gave us attitude and then kicked us out for nothing. Even the people around us were so confused because nothing happened and the next thing we know we're getting kicked out. That makes no sense. Not one apology was said! Worst customer service I have ever experienced and my friends and I will NEVER go back!!

Gracie's is nice inside with the style of a New England pub with two bars, one upstairs and one downstairs and lots of tables and seating areas. During the warmer months the outdoor patio looks like it would be really nice, but being that it's winter now, it was much too cold to be dining outside. We instead opted for a nice table inside and ordered some brunch. For brunch I ordered the CrÃ¨me Brule French Toast which consisted of thick sliced bread dipped "crÃ¨me brulee style", whatever that means, and served with maple-butter syrup and powdered sugar. I also ordered a side of bacon because the french toast didn't include anything else. If you have a large appetite I'd recommend ordering a side of meat, such as bacon or sausage, and maybe some eggs. The french toast is pretty sizable, but again, if you have a large appetite you may want more to eat. The french toast was good, with a rich flavor and just enough sweetness. Unfortunately the french toast was a little soggy, as if they didn't cooked it long enough. It would have been darn near perfect if it was just a little crisper. Maybe next time I will ask them to cook it a little more. My wife ordered the Eggs Benedict, Florentine which consisted of an english muffin, poached eggs, Canadian bacon, spinach, tomato, and hollandaise sauce. Her meal also included Gracie's home potatoes -- which were really good. My wife loves Eggs Benedict and she said Gracie's was very good. One of the definite pluses for Gracie's were the very reasonable, if not downright cheap prices for brunch. My french toast was only $5 and the Eggs Benedict, Florentine was only $7. Overall Gracie's made a great first impression. The atmosphere was good, the service was excellent (our waitress was very friendly and on point), and the food was reasonably priced and tasted good. But Gracie's was not without a few demerits. First of all, parking cost $5, the same cost as my french toast! I hate paying for parking and paying $5 for parking given the inexpensive cost for brunch was not cool. Secondly, because Gracie's is a bar there is the stale smell of cigarettes throughout, which is really gross. All and all these are pretty minor things, so I would go back to Gracie's again for brunch. Gracie's has a lot going for it.

If you come to Salt Lake City, enjoy a "real" bar and didn't come here you failed. Local aged sausage bangers, Curry burger, jalapeÃ±o corn chowder and the best local hops? Priceless.

Food is awful, this is the second time I've eaten there and was really disappointed. Went there on Saturday and ordered Nachos - Chips were really salty and soggy and tasted like Velvetta cheese and an overwhelming amount of onions, was really bad :(. Do the people there not taste the food that they serve? Never will eat there again! Really a sleezy place! While we were sitting at our table, we all got to watch a girl getting dry humped. This guy had his hands up her shirt, fondling her breasts, while doing the dry humping thing. Seriously???? I'm all for a good time, but there's a time and place for this kind of stuff.

A lot of my bar reviews start out this way, so not to break tradition . . . I was DDing this particular night, so this is an atmosphere review, with room for updates later. It was a crowded and happenin' Saturday night. There were many young people, and many middle aged men searching for their lost glory days, grinding up on these young people. The DJ was . . . mediocre, but the music had a beat so people were on the cramped dance floor all the same. The waitress was prompt and friendly; I'm sure on a slower night Gracie's would be the best. As it was, I'd shrug if invited to go again and probably go without enthusiasm. Not the best, not the worst.

This place has such potential, but is obviously severly mis-managed and always understaffed. Food and drinks take FOREVER. Sometimes served cold. The menu has items on itn that I was told by the server they don't have and never have had them...I have been more times than I care to admit as In have had friends want to go to eat on the great patio. Every time I drag my feet and moan. Staff your restaurant/bar!

Stopped in for a pre-dinner cocktail and wished I was there for the food. They appeared to have an extensive food menu as well as cocktail menu and the food we saw coming out to the other patrons looked very good. Unfortunately, we already had plans to go to the Yelp party across the street so we stuck to cocktails. I got a beer the wife a cocktail they she enjoyed, can't recall the name. Service was very good, prices were reasonable. I will post a revised review when we try the food.

Ordered pretty much all the menu over the past year and also ordered my favorites plates. Glad to say Gracie's has been consistent in prepping and serving delicious food. Top plates for me are the Salmon Burger, Thai Wrap, Wings, all the salads are yummy and the BEST sweet potato fries. Keep up the awesome job!!

The alcohol was pretty average on price compared to other bars around the area. The womens bathroom was really clean, 1 star for you! I did not try the food - it looked alright but I don't know if I like this place enough to spend my dinner money here... I also really liked that the top patio was a non-smoking area; this is nothing against smokers, but as an ex smoker this was actually something I liked about Gracie's - give yourself another star. The humans that flock here are.. well let me just sum it up: Fellas - wear a really tight shirt, some affliction, and pants with white stitching. Ladies - wear a super tight dress with sky high heels to reel in them boys! Good luck and I wish you all the best in your adventures on finding your soul-mate at Gracie's.

While at Gracies , I ordered the Reuben sandwich. I gotta tell you one of the best Rubens I've ever eaten anywhere. Before she was absolutely huge and a sweet potato fries in filled the plate. We were in a very large group and everyone around the table said their meal was unbelievable. We got a couple appetizers the nachos and by portion size they were huge and delicious. We ordered the hummus and calamari both were great but a little smaller on the portion size. The server was awesome and was greeted immediately when I walked in the door fantastic place to have dinner lunch I will be back.

Great low key place to hang out and chat, watch sports or listen to one of their great bands. I was pleasantly surprised when a co worker wanted to meet here and catch up at the bar. I had the sweet and delicious maple glazed pork chop for dinner. The couscous was great dunked in the maple sauce. YUM! And my friend had the filet, who said it was good. Bartenders provided great service and were always around. The music started just as we were leaving, but sound great. Probably a great atmosphere for those of us that travel and dine solo.

Staying nearby, we walked to this place from our hotel. Nice atmosphere and an outdoor section where you can smoke (I am not a smoker). The Bloody Marys were pretty darn good. We stopped in the night we got into SLC...which was a Thursday. After a couple drinks, we left. We came back Friday night around 10PM and the place was starting to fill up. There was a $5 cover to get in, regardless if you were there for dinner or just drinks. They had a DJ play music. It was a good crowd of mostly locals having a good time. They serve food, but we ate before we got there....so no comment on the food...sorry.

Gracie's has actually been around for a while, and I have been meaning to check this place out too. So far, I only managed to visit them for brunch. It is a pub, so they do ID you at the entrance. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with upstairs and downstairs. Choose wisely depending on the weather of the day. The ambience is actually quite nice here with great music for your meal. I was for here for their brunch and had their Smothered Egg Burrito. It has an egg burrito and came with a side spiced potato. The home potatoes were nicely done with an interest spice flavor unlike any potato I ever tasted. The egg burrito has a blossomed with a nice mixture of flavors from the spinach, mozzarella, cheddar, tomatoes and onions. Definitely a place worth revisiting and be sure to park on the street on the weekend as the parking lot charges fee regardless of the day.

Always looking for good beer and even better gastro pub type food. The Sauteed Kale Salad caught my eye and thought I would try. While the Pretzel Bites appetizer was very good, the kale salad was so so. Very tough, old kale and not alot of flavor. Carrots on the side were also ok but hardly any flavor. Beer selection was great and the local pale ale I got was great. Staff very attentive and friendly. Place was clean and had nice clientele. Will repeat when in search of beer but not for food.

I like this bar even though it gets pretty packed they do a good job at keeping up with everyone. They have a small dance floor and normally a band or dj. Two bars, upstairs and downstairs and they have table service outside. All in all, I normally have a good time here! Will be back.

Foods great ( love their brunch, try the mimosa!) and I love the lights they hang up outside . During the summer it's really nice to go out and sit down . It's always packed and it might be hard to get a table. Their lobster Mac and cheese is comfort food all the way and I love pairing it with a glass of Chardonnay. Try their steak burger !

The food here isn't going to blow your mind, but... it's edible. Some of the food options are definitely better than others. I wasn't too thrilled with their beer menu, but not every pub is going to have my favorite beers and I'll just have to get over that :P The big perk for me at this pub? The shuffleboard table!

No man, just no. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR MENU? Food used to be so good. Now it so sucks. You don't get to call yourself a gastro pub if you serve nachos with neon orange cheese goop.

TL;DR: Brunch was mostly a disappointment, but the atmosphere is really nice. A few weeks ago at Tastemakers I was chatting with the Gracie's guys in between bites of their delicious ribs and lobster mac. "We have brunch now, you know," one of the chefs said. And with that, it was time to organize a meeting of the minds (BrosWhoBrunch) and give it a shot. They open at 11am on Saturdays and 10am on Sundays, so take note when planning your outing. I really enjoy the atmosphere at Gracie's. Their patios are a great place to pass the time and hang out with friends. The food was hit or miss. I ordered the Italian Benedict. Poached eggs on sausage and an English muffin, topped with a generous slathering of hollandaise and a hit of balsamic. It also had a generous helping of my personal kryptonite: basil. The taste was spot-on. Everything had a nice balance. Unfortunately, my dish was served to me at room temperature, and I confirmed with one of my buddies that his Benedict was served the same way. Also, the eggs must have been poached with a bit of red wine vinegar, because the egg "whites" came out pink, which was a little disconcerting. They serve most of their dishes alongside their house potatoes, which were a complete disappointment. Unevenly cooked, some were still hard and uncooked on the inside. Other pieces were dry as can be, and they lacked much flavor. A couple highlights, though: the creme brulee French toast was incredible. I love me some French toast and Gracie's version definitely didn't disappoint. Not too mushy, with just the right amount of crispy coating on the outside to make this the standout dish of the day. Another buddy's breakfast burrito looked pretty good as well. We were pleasantly surprised to see the Joshua Payne Orchestra show up mid way through our meal. They started playing their take on various popular songs, and it was a real treat.

My stop at Gracie's yesterday begged for a review update. I returned for the white bean veggie burger that I loved so much on my last visit. While still tasty, it didn't have the same appeal as last time. I'm not sure if it was overcooked? Something was slightly off. At any rate that's not what put a complete damper on the meal. This time instead of going for the side salad, I ordered sweet potato fries as a side. Big mistake! I believe they were frozen fries from a bag. I don't think a restaurant should bill itself as a "gastropub" if they're heating up frozen fries. What sets it apart from a fast food chain? While my server was nice enough, I didn't get a welcoming vibe from the others in the restaurant. It was fairly empty while I was there for lunch. I sat there for over an hour and got bypassed time and time again without any acknowledgment. Although the owner stood next to me and talked to another patron for about 20 minutes, he didn't say a word or inquire about my meal. I definitely wasn't looking for a welcome wagon but I don't believe it's hard to acknowledge the few people who were in the restaurant at the time. This was my third, and likely last, visit to Gracie's. Very inconsistent service. There is better to be had.

A very popular spot to grab a nice drink... At the time, I was not familiar with all the weird laws about beer in Utah, so after some discussion with the waitress (all I really wanted was a nice pint) I ended up with a wine sized bottle of beer in front of me. It was almost sitting there like a dare... well of course I thoroughly enjoyed the hoppy beer I chose and drank it all... Cool place with multiple levels with some live music. A good spot to hit when you are in town.

It's truly sad to see such a fine establishment fall from grace. I was never a fan of the evening activities of Gracie's (not my scene) but I was always delighted to patron this venue for its delicious lunch and brunch on its amazing patio. While the patio has kept its incredible view, the kitchen has lost every ounce of its charm and taste. After attempting to enjoy a Sunday brunch with six companions and being told their was a "new chef," the food delivered was so far below par it was off the charts. Plates we're describe as "soggy," "rock hard," "dry," "artificial," "bland," "coagulated,"cold," and "disgusting." Not one patron was happy with their meal and we're extremely hard to displease. Unless I hear of any improvements or a change in leadership, I can assure you nobody from this group will return. Such a shame.

Gracie's used to have one of the best brunches in town, but they have taken a huge turn for the worse with the addition of their new chef. Every single one of us had issues with our food -- whether it was dry chicken, cold eggs, soupy gravy, soggy and frozen fries, or coagulated Irish coffees, nothing came out that was worth eating. Won't be back until they have a chef who prepares fresh food and uses quality ingredients. To their credit, they didn't even try to charge me for my meal that I sent back after only a few bites. On a positive note, our server was very nice and took great care of us.

Last of our money that will ever go to Gracie's until the management turns over. Overwhelmingly unprofessional staff and "management" (trickle-down effect). Not to mention, very mediocre food. Server did not know the menu, had an attitude from start to end and didn't write anything drink/app/entree orders for a party of 8. Not surprisingly, our bill came out wrong - with upcharges for items we specifically declined, a full-priced salad that he previously confirmed was part of the half-off happy hour offerings, etc. When these mistakes were brought this to his attention, he became aggressive and argumentative, refusing to correct his error then leaving to get his manager. We though the manager would HELP solve the issue..wow were we wrong! Attitudes and professionalism are poor and lacking all around! The "manager" was worse, immediately combative, mocking and sarcastic. Setting this example for his onlooking employees. Long story short, we were SHOCKED by the unprofessionalism and lack of customer service here. Lots of other places to eat, this will not be one of them.

This place is perfect for a Sunday football game. Screens and big screens everywhere. Clean. Attentive waitresses. Food is amazing. Affordable drinks. Great atmosphere. I give this bar a three coz they don't have parking lots. The huge parking next to them is a paid lot. I had to park on side of the road three blocks away. Its an inconvenient to me.

Gracie's is a great place to meet friends for dinner and a few drinks. the staff is friendly, accurate on orders, polite and very attentive without being overbearing. the attmospher is great you can go there for dinner and end up staying to dance and party the night away. Friday and Saturday nights are the best and it gets packed with people looking to enjoy the salt lake night life.

Brynne H.

My only complaint about Gracie's is that it's really hard to hit your dinner per diem here because everything is so favorably priced. Seriously, it was impossible to spend $30.00 here. Is that not the best worst complaint ever? The food was terrific. The nachos were so, so good. I almost wish I was in SLC more often just for the nachos. My coworker ordered those (but the small mountain was more than enough for me to sneak bites), the chicken wings (nothing to get excited about), a salad, and an entree I can't remember. I ordered the French onion soup (just okay) and the taco salad (holy crap, omg so good). We were there on a Monday night, so it wasn't exactly popping, but it looked like it could be a fun place to hang out. If I'm ever back in SLC, I know I'll find myself at Gracie's.

I was at Gracie's on a cold Monday night. When I got there, which was a bit early in the evening, I was the only customer, but thankfully, the staff wasn't weirdly overbearing like others I've experienced. I got a Moab beer and looked over the menu. I had seen the curry burger mentioned in another Yelp review and had been craving that since I'd read the description; so, I ordered that with the French onion soup. It was delicious. I loved the cheese on both the soup and on the burger, and the curry ketchup was awesome. It wasn't overpowering but tasty. I do wish there had been more excitement on the night I was at Gracie's, but I understand it was a Monday and a relatively cold night at that. I only ate half the burger there, and while the waitress brought me a box for the other half, I realized I forgot to take it with me when I left, but felt it was too late to go back for it. I don't think I would have minded having leftovers of the burger, though.

Nice open air patio and live music. However service is abysmal. Ordered 2 eggs and bacon. 2 hours and counting and I still do not have food despite numerous apologies and excuses. 2 hours! For eggs....I had to get my own water I got so tired of waiting. Don't come to eat, unless you have the entire afternoon to burn.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself here. I ordered a virgin Bloody Mary and the veggie burger. Both were delicious. I tried my companion's CrÃ¨me Brule French Toast and had a foodgasm. The service is great and friendly. It felt like a couple places you'd find in West Hollywood or Venice Beach. I see myself becoming a regular for sure! :-)

Gracies isn't going to set any records for being "best of" in SLC, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't go there. 3 stars means exactly that: A-OK. Nothing great, but solid overall. They have a ton of space, indoors and out. During the summer I highly recommend sitting on the upper deck towards the corner where you can see both east and north city exposures. If you squint, you can almost imagine you are in a real city. But then you look at the prices on the menu and the availability of seating, and you come back to reality where you live in the best city ever: Salt Lake. There are three reasons you go to gracies: A) You are looking to have some after-work drinks and snacks with friends or coworkers and bitch about your boss. 2) there is a sporting event on and you want to hang out and relax whilst watching it and drinking draft beer and D) you just moved from the Seaside Heights, NJ and need a place to score. I have been there for all 3 reasons (reluctantly on D), and have to say that if you set your expectations right, Gracies will be good for all 3. If you are not looking for D above, do yourself a favor and just plan on hanging out until about 1030pm on friday or saturday night then move down the street to someplace more chill. Gracies will turn into the cougar club after that. Nothing wrong with that. Just should be known. But casual drinks are great with people, lots of booths and tables, and these high tops that are exposed on all sides which allows you to meet people or talk to people easier. Good stuff. Food is B- to B+. I HIGHLY recommend the sausage nachos. Being from Philly it was a nice touch to see some disgusting cheese-whiz like substance being installed on them. Also, their wings are kinda good, like a Thai-chilli sauce I think. Ive had a bunch of their wraps. Nothing to stay away from. I think the best thing I had there was some sort of Gnocchi with spicy sausage (in a bar...really?) which will seriously make you question your sanity while ordering but will quickly be justified with the first fork full into your mouth. overall, the place is big enough that you can do your own thing and have a good bar-meal with friends.

I enjoy Gracie's for their great patio and varied live acts. Service on prime nights can be quite lack luster. I enjoy their fresh summer cocktails and changing menus. I just wish there was consistency in there service.

Great place to stop for dinner. We were stopping for a night and a friend from SLC recommended this place. Very cool vibe, the nonsmoking section is upstairs on the deck. The food was flavorful, the burgers and sandwiches aren't your typical burgers. I had the "Black and Bleu beef steak sandwich and I was very impressed. It was very tasty. I would come back here next time to have it again and hopefully get to catch the live music they host.

This is one of the only places downtown I will go because of the safe and inviting atmosphere. I have several friends that live around there and bribing me with the s.l.u.t bangers off the new menu worked to get me downtown! Vike was our amazing bartender and was the first to suggested it to us. Tons of great music and dancing to be had.

Warning, the address in Yelp is wrong. Gracie's is actually across from the Hilton Downtown. I went here to watch the Seahawks game last weekend and absolutely loved the place. The food was good, the drinks were great and the atmosphere was really fun. I hear that it's even more fun in the warmer months when both the patios are open. Great place to grab brunch and watch football or go to late at night for drinks, they do it all!

Eh... I guess it depends on what you're into. My husband and I walked over here because it was close to our hotel. No one in the front area directed us toward any particular area, so we wandered over to the patio and sat down. We ordered a couple beers that were tasty (sorry I don't remember which). We got a cheese dip (tasted thick and reheated, I don't imagine it's house made), spicy edamame (good flavors, nothing spectacular), and angus sliders (SO MUSHY, I couldn't eat them because the texture of the meat was so off... my husband tried them and said "they taste like dog food," and that was the perfect description). My husband got a wrap I think he enjoyed. Overall I was unimpressed with the food. The server was friendly and attentive. The patio seemed to attract all the smokers, which we didn't realize when we sat down, but then it was too late. The crowd out there seemed young (early 20's), and were dressed like jersey shore cast members. Not my scene really. Upstairs there were tv's and people watching the Real Salt Lake MLS game. I think we would have had more fun up there, but that wouldn't have helped the food. Either way, I wish a hostess or someone would have given us some advice on where to sit. If you're going for a night out to party with friends you may have a better experience.

I have been coming here for lunch on and off for the past 3 years. They have been through a few different chefs and menus. Some of the menu changes have been pretty bad. However due to the proximity of my work and Gracie's, I have continued to support them. The one thing you can always count on is a wide selection of decently priced local beer. I highly recommend trying a Hop Rising double IPA Utah local brewery, Squatters. The beer is awesome, a bit dark but not too filling. It's like a 9% beer for under $6. Sold! Back to the food...tried the Eggplant Parmesan with spicy tomato sauce and angel hair pasta! Delicious. Huge portion for $12. Only available for dinner. The other important quality of this place is that the staff is genuinely cool and receptive to ideas regarding improvement on the menu. Super friendly and attentive. Upstairs bar is the best if you are in town solo and need a quick bite or beer!

The food use to be so good here!!! Like to die for good! Now Gracie's has a new menu and new chef... This place is nothing but a let down. One waitress was a complete brat when we expressed how good the old menu was, so essentially told us to get over it. We ordered the special of the day "Pork Sliders" we waited 40 minutes to get our food. Once we got the food the meat was very dry and lacked any form of flavor. Our water cups stayed un filled for most of our meal.. Don't think I'll ever come back to Gracie's again unfortunately, this place use to be my favorite.

I was in SLC for a conference and found this bar on yelp that was close to my hotel. A friend from the conference and I decided to go watch some Sunday night football here. The service was good and the drinks were just right! The patio outside looked awesome and fun but there weren't any tv's and it was a bit too loud to try to have a conversation. I got the butternut squash soup and it wasn't quite what I expected. But the ahi tuna salad was fabulous! I didn't even use any dressing, it was great.

Anna was our server and she treated us like were the red headed step children. The food was horrible- cold and and tasted old. Pretty much our waitress set the tone for a fast get-away. My friends soup was cold and so was my order of sliders. The ambiance was nice. But it was so disappointing.

Gracie's sucks the big one. Dont bother going there ever! We booked the game room for a 30th birthday party celebration and they double booked the room telling us sorry. They couldnt do anything. We currently have 16 people to their 5 and they are moving us upstairs. We booked weeks in advance and have a confirmation number, are planning on having 30+ people here tonight and that doesn't deem to make a difference to them. They don't care about our party at all and are cramming us all into one table upstairs with a quarter of the space downstairs. Don't bother coming here or spending your money at this crappy place. It's terrible and so frustrating that theydon't have any coordination or managerial skills in their management. Don't book your party here or bother eating there, terrible food, and highly over priced drinks. This place sucks!!!

I liked this place. They have a cool concept going on with the art in the walls of the patio. It has a fun feel, live music sometimes, lots of screens to watch sports. A fun crowd for the most part and lots of bars to order from. I enjoyed it. One of the best things is standing on the second floor, watch downtown from their patio, in which (this is the most genius part) they have little bars to put your drinks there while you chat and watch, avoiding the cold hand syndrome from holding your drink all the time. I loved it.

Generous, perhaps, but I saw some sparks that lead me to believe there may be four stars to be had. Firstly, it should be noted that this is some killer patio weather we've been having, and Gracie's has a killer patio to match the weather. With the giant highrise now going up the view of the mountains has been impeded, but all in all, you've got the lower patio and upper patio where patio magic happens. We sat in the lower patio and listened to the impeccably stylish tunes of the Joshua Payne Orchestra who was playing live. Under the umbrellas the sun was kept at bay. We sat too close to the fan which, once turned on, was kinda loud but added some air movement. On the plus side, it did keep any smoke from the east half of the patio where puffing is permitted from wafting over. Oh, there's drinks to be had. I can't comment on them, but you can definitely whet your whistle here. I stopped by for brunch, and there were some real highlights as well as things I may not order again. The best part is that the price is absolutely right. They start at around $7 for brunch items and go up to $11 or $12. I'll pay that. My Benedict Florentine had all the workings of a great dish, and if it could have been served a bit hotter I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to you. Unfortunately the breakfast potatoes are a pass for me next time around. Great idea, but they ended up a wee bit dry. Other dishes I saw--the massive pile of stuff plate (I forget its name, but it was big) and a big breakfast burrito. Both looked good but sit on the upper end of the price scale. Everything else aside, we need to talk about the French toast. As a kid, I always worried about sleeping over at my friends' houses for fear their mom would fix French toast for breakfast. You see, I can really stand the stuff. As a grownup I've learned to tolerate it, but there's something about eggy, soggy bread that doesn't work for me. Enter Gracie's. Gracie's, you magnificent wizards, you've done it. You've made a French toast that I not only like, but that I would order. On purpose! They call it a crÃ¨me brÃ»lÃ©e French toast and I have no idea what that means, except to say that it was a little bit crunchy, a little bit sweet, and definitely not soggy or eggy. The big, pillowy bread was the perfect bite and with just a touch of maple syrup I broke through my childhood fears and nearly wept. Best of all? The plate is $5. So there you have it. A nice bar, a full menu, night or day. It seems you have to jump around the menu and experiment a bit, but there's probably something there you'll like.

Kyle K.

Earned another star for an awesome NFL brunch. $3 bloodies, and a really nice brunch menu, including a trash-plate like breakfast with 4 eggs, bacon, really nice italian sausage, ham, crispy American potatoes, covered in a delicious, different Hollandaise. Delish. And the bartender who served us was really great -- funny, personable, yet not over the top. He tuned the TVs to the games we wanted to see, checked in on us regularly, and made sure we were well taken care of. Nice place to watch the game, with above average brunch food. It would have been a bit more fun if there were a few more people, but it certainly makes the rotation when we don't want to be in a dark basement (Bourbon House), surrounded by families (Squatters), a madhouse with bad food (Lumpy's) but still want to watch football.

This was the worst place iv been in a long time I went for my friends birthday we where club/bar hopping in the area and one of our friends demanded that we stop there so we did we got there around 9 or so and all the lady still had to pay a cover (total bull if you ask me ) so what ever we go in and my friend orders a beer we go sit down and her beer is warm so I go back to the bar and ask if I could get a cild beer the bar tender proceeds to just dump the beer that I had from one mug into another which was still not cold whatever we just let it go drink the beer and try to have a good night then I go up to order an AMF and the bartender turns and ask the guy that is making the mix drinks form a AMF and then he whispers in his ear for a good 30 seconds the guy makes my drink and give it to me I pay my 9 bucks and I go back to the table and i taste it and there was no liquor in it at all so I have everybody else at the table taste it they all agree so I go to find the manager well I'm trying to find a manager everybody that I ask to speak to the manager all ask me well are you sure so they were all questioning my judgement so finally I got a manager Jason I believe his name was he says I don't know what I can do for you other than get you another drink I said that's all I wanted this hole time is what I payed for I tasted the new one and told him the other one didn't have any liquor in it at all that this new drink taste totally different and then he asked me again well are you sure and I said yes I went back down on the patio with my friends and on my way I see Jason the manager down talking to the bartender and they are having a good old laugh will never be back this place has no class and only caters to hipsters

Great place and exceptional food. I came to SLC for a conference and ate here every night. They have a nice local crowd and friendly atmosphere. Trout taco was killer. The Burger was A+ and the Ahi roll was the perfect balance of sushi and bar appetizer. Nick the Bartender was also a good personality and clearly knows his family of customers. Thanks for making me feel welcome guys!

The food at Gracie's has gone downhill, as has the overall management and service. We sampled several apps and only actually enjoyed one. We ordered fries specifically to try the vinegar aioli but found out , only after they arrived, that they no longer come with that (despite it still being on the menu). Our fries also weren't a mix of white and sweet as is described on the menu. The chicken tenders were WAY overlooked. They came with Milcreek coffee gravy. One ramekin of gravy tasted good but the other was super bland. Meanwhile, our waitress was extremely slow getting us more drinks despite it being early and not busy. Sad to say, but I won't be going back to Gracie's an it used to be one of my favorite places.

Sara K.

I have never been one to complain like this but I wanted Gracie's to know how disappointing this is. I used to be a huge fan of Gracie food, but until recently I've been highly disappointed. Not only did the nachos use to be quite tasty, so did their many salad choices. When ordering nachos this last time, the menu made them sound enticing. But when the nachos arrived I was in shock that I had just been served what looked like nachos from a gas station. No where on the menu does it say "queso" also known as cheese whiz in Gracie's world. The menu description consists of "House Cut Tortillas, Tomatoes, JalapeÃ±os, Navy Beans, Sour Cream and Salsa; Option of Sausage, Angus Beef or Grilled Chicken". Now that sounds delicious, but little did I know there would be a large amount of red onions, tomatoes that looked and tasted like pimentos, and canned very thin sliced jalapeÃ±os, and maybe like 5 pieces of grilled chicken. All sitting in a soggy pool of cheese whiz with a very tiny amount of salsa from a ramekin to dip in. After eating some of the nachos I could dig out that did have real cheese on them. I proceeded to order a salad, the Cesar wedge. "Baby Romaine, Broken Focaccia, Beehive Aggiano Creamy Cracked Pepper Dressing, Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes". The presentation was really nice and it wasn't that bad tasting, if you like ranch on your Cesar salad. The service was good nothing to be said there, but the food has taken a turn for the worse and the prices have gone up. All I was hoping for was a steak salad and good old Gracie's nachos...

I was in town for a conference and 50 of us showed up for lunch unannounced. The staff bent over backwards to accommodate us. We were able to spread out on the front patio and enjoy the wonderful Spring weather of Salt Lake City. The staff was excellent and went out of their way to accommodate us. Excellent food and service. I would highly recomend this place if you are in the Salt Lake City area.

This is for an overall experience plus the tastemakers food they recently had a few weeks ago. First of all, the bar experience isn't that great. I wouldn't stop by for a drink. It's expensive, crowded, and just kinda eh. I think there might be a cover too but I'm not sure. Now, the only saving grace was during tastemakers, they had these ribs called "Gracie's Crown Ribs" that were AMAZING. They were so tender the meat fell off the rib and delicious. They were braised in ancho-chili BBQ sauce and this particular tasting came with some sort of seafood macaroni which was a nice complement. I don't know how much it is but I would come here just for the ribs. Actually that's a lie if they were expensive probably not but they were definitely tasty!

This is a restaurant I have been to several times and used to greatly enjoy. Brunch was something to look forward to at Gracie's. SADLY the service and quality of food as gone downhill tenfold. Waitress failed to jot down an order for 8 people forgetting one of the orders, but then putting it in as a single order that arrived 30 minutes before the rest of the part. Not only did I wait an hour for my food, but it arrived cold. I took the time to let the manager know how my once favorite restaurant was disappointing and left it up to them to resolve it- either with a discounted meal or refund. When I received no closure to the issue I decided it was the last time I would ever go. One thing I would like to mention is the visit prior to this was also disappointing but I let it go, thinking it was just an off day for the staff.

I'm going to start off by saying that I usually love going here for brunch. During football season its perfect because they have so many tvs and you can watch all the games at once. They also have a killer patio that is so much fun to hang out on in nice weather. Today however I was less than impressed and actually left really upset. I went in with a friend after not being there for awhile. I checked the website the day before and was surprised to see they had changed their brunch menu and it shrank drastically. That's fine. Its not a big deal. What was a big deal though was our server. I have one word for Annalyse: rude. We sat down in a booth upstairs and waited for a long time before she came to our table. She brought water with her which I thought was a good sign. She also brought our coffee and my friends mimosa quickly. Then we looked over the menu and waited for another long period of time before she came back. When she did I asked if I could get egg whites instead of whole eggs... And she said "no we can't do egg whites" I didn't think it was that big of a deal but apparently it is. So then I asked her what was in the parfait... Which she responded "well I don't know its a new menu I haven't seen it yet" uhhh Ok. So we ordered and our food came quickly. My toast was a little burnt but tolerable. I'm pretty sure I didn't get 4 eggs like I had asked for but its fine. Not at all what upset me. Annalyse came and checked on us again eventually and brought us sirracha. Refilled our waters, but didn't ask if we wanted more coffee or drinks. This is what upset me the most: after finishing our food our server walked over and asked if we were ready for our checks. I was actually planning on staying there for awhile but apparently its not going to be allowed. I don't feel like we were rude but I also do not feel like she wanted to be there in the first place. And as a server I know asking someone if they want their checks is code for "get out of my section" She got her wish since we left quickly after. Worst experience I have had there. It's not horrible but I love this bar and was more accustomed to friendlier service since we frequently go to it during football season. I will probably go back, but I know whose section I will be avoiding.

Great place to go hangout for Sunday brunch - menu is a bit limited but the atmosphere is great, staff is always friendly, service is prompt. I've been going here for years for Sunday brunch and love this place.

Gracies is hit and miss for me but I've learned which days suit me so I enjoy it most of the time. If big crowds aren't your thing, don't go late on a Friday or Saturday night. The crowd can be...well, a little too Ed Hardy/Affliction for my taste. You know what I mean. Bedazzled butts and way too many muscles popping out of too tight shirts. Not really my style but hey, if that's your thing... I love Gracies on the week nights. Especially in the summer. I adore their patios and summer drinks. On the week nights, you can usually find an empty pool table, pinball machine or shuffleboard! I particularly love Thursday nights because the Daniel Day Trio plays. A three piece band that plays jazzy versions of popular songs. Who knew Snoop Dogg could sound good as an instrumental jazz piece? As for their food, it's not bad. Maybe not the best food but some dishes are pretty tasty. I love their lobster and crab mac and cheese. Yummy, gooey, and cheesy. Is there anything better than those three words together? Probably not.

Gracie's was a fun stop in Salt Lake City. While packed, we managed to grab a table near the pool tables. It wasn't my favorite atmosphere compared to the other spots, but it was still lively and fun. The food was good - I had the cuban and it hit the spot (delicious). The drinks were reasonably priced (as was the food). Overall, a great spot to stop in the city with a group for a night out.

Good service and location, but so-so on the meal. Many of the hot appetizers were luke-warm by the time we received them. If you are looking for just a bar to hang out in and have a few drinks, Gracie's is fine. However if you are looking to have lunch/dinner, I might look else.

Tiffany J.

I don't know how many times I have eaten here probably 15 or more times, I even have a Gracies tank top. You may ask why am only giving them three stars because I always come back. This is because the service is pretty bad. The servers are extremely rude and they never really talk to you about anything because they are seriously so busy. But being busy isn't the problem because I have been in there when there's nobody around and the service is just as bad. I really come here for the ambience the place has a super cool feel. The drinks are overpriced but usually extremely good. The music that is played is the real Reason I enjoy Gracies. The food is eh? Not the best not the worst. I feel like they are constantly changing their menu which I don't enjoy. I really like consistency and I never really know what to expect when I come in here.

The beers were good and they try really hard with the presentation of their food but the taste is just okay. The wings were excellent, juicy and messy. Did not care that the server wanted to close her ticket out since her shift was over, we opted to carry through to the next server with our dinner entres. Plenty of monitors to watch your favorite sports event.

Saturday night, The place was packed, we found a table quickly. (You seat yourself here) . Our waitress was quick to take our drink order and give us menu. Over the course of the meal I had three Crown and Cokes. I think the first was a little under poured,but the next two were strong enough to make up for it. My meal was excellent. I ordered the Curry burger, with the BLT pasta salad. Both were fantastic! The burger was tender and not over spiced. The BLT pasta salad had a generous amount of bacon and what I believe was pesto. I also tried some chicken nachos that another person in our party ordered.They were delicious as well. The atmosphere was great with sports on several TV's and a nice level of music and conservation. I'll be back.

I have been here three time and had the curry burger, pho, and dumplings. The food is good, but different than you might expect. I walked thinking 'yeah I ate some food' Nothing amazing, but decent enough to go back.

In town on business, this place has a GREAT atmosphere and menu. Great selection of wines and single malts, Mac and Cheese was simple amazing. Paul was my server, and all servers should learn from him. I would love to go back to SLC just for Gracie's.

Came here straight from the airport on Thanksgiving day with my bf who was already mad i had ruined thanksgiving. I ordered the thanksgiving dinner for $10 a great deal until it came out cold as can be. I told my server and she said the cook would make me another one but the runner had already said it was the last turkey dinner and well of course when it came out, it had been nooked where the turkey was more like beef jerky. Pretty disappointed since I rave about Gracies food all the tiime. Bf had the ahi tuna wrap and it barely had fish in it, him ot being a fan of this place already and pissed off already, well it was a bad night. Live band was nice and service was good but the food, sucked!!!

Tye B.

Hmm, I was apprehensive due to the variety of reviews. I have to say that the service was on par and the food was definitely above average. We tried about every appetizer on the menu and I had the salmon for a main course. Good job. The crowd's a little riddled with tattoo shirt/sport jacket folks, seemingly looking for broken and easy women. (if you disagree, you are probably one of those. :) ), but if you can accept that as mild entertainment, you should be good to go! I recommend visiting Gracie's.

Cheryl R.

I went to Gracie's with my buddies... I had 6 amaretto sours and I didn't get the least bit drunk. Each drink tasted different, not bad, but different from each other. They had this pita and hummus stuff that was awesome though. BIG place. Loud. I'd go back.

This was an awesome lunch pick Thanks to Christopher W. who suggested it for me. The lunch menu is pretty reasonable and just unique enough to offer multiple quandaries trying to decide what to have first. We shared the Pomme Frites plate with 50/50 sweet potato and regular fries. They were thick cut, fresh and sprinkled with sea salt and herbs. The spicy ketchup had a nice heat that warms you up from the inside out. I had the lunch combo which is a major bargain. For $7 I got half a sandwich (I chose Turkey Avocado which was fresh and delicious with a soft pumpernickel hoagie roll, bacon, and cheese) a cup of soup (choices are butternut squash, french onion, or soup du jour) and a side salad. Great price, great food, 'nuff said. My dining companion ordered the mac and cheese which was $10, kind of pricey for mac and cheese...but wait a minute...it's topped with lump crab meat and has bay shrimp mixed in. It was super creamy and good and way worth the $10. Overall it was a nice lunch, with friendly service, good food and a nice atmosphere. There are still lots of menu choices that we want to try out, so I'm sure we'll be back. PS The diet coke was really good with a big slice of lime served with it. Yum-o!

Grace S.

Not a big fan of Gracie's. Their food is mediocre. Don't order the "pho" -- I don't know why anyone would order "pho" at a non-Vietnamese restaurant and I don't know why they even offer it on the menu. I have been here twice for work-related group events and was sorely disappointed both times. The server was overly busy--had WAY too many tables and neglected my group completely. Gracie's has a HUGE selection of excellent beers and nice TV screens, but you can't actually HEAR the game from the main bar area and it's SO loud inside that you can't hear the person next to you when they try to talk (or scream) in downstairs area. Random note (from my husband): men's restroom on the 2nd floor does not afford much privacy. Women's restroom is normal and clean.

I'm not the biggest fan of this watering hole, but it seems to be very popular in Salt Lake City. Gracie's has many seating options and multiple bars. Unfortunately, none of this makes up for the higher priced drinks compared to other SLC bars. They have a full food menu with okay nachos and pizzas. I have never had the pasta dishes, but friends liked the pasta. The downstairs outdoor seating of Gracie's resembles a jail, which I am not a fan. The upstairs outdoor seating is much nicer and offers a good view of downtown SLC. Gracie's is good for games because of the multiple TVs inside and outside. Overall, I think Gracie's depends on the type of person. I would add it to any bar crawl agenda and go from that point.

Ashley W.

As a SLC redident Gracie's is by far one of my favorite Saturday night spots. They also offer a delicious Sunday brunch with killer Bloody Mary's. Viking, I know, what a name, is such a fun bartender and super cute too (if you're into beards....and duh, you sould be)! He is fast and makes sure to remain very personable despite the crowds. Outside they have the game corn hole (bean bag game). So fun! I would definitly recommend Gracie's for a great time. Saturday nights are always happening, but just your average weekday is great too. Great place to grab dinner after work. The curry buger rocks!

Heather K.

Owned and run by the former Port O' Call experts, Gracie's is always hopping with drink specials, brunch, sports and just being the newest and coolest place to be downtown. Deno Dakis and Shawn Frehner are extremely good at running a great bar and now they've raised the bar to offer an experience that Salt Lake has been lacking. The drinks are expensive compared to anywhere else in the U.S. but well-priced for Utah and the food is ten steps above what you might expect from a "typical" bar. The gourmet sandwiches and burgers are in fact gourmet and made with high-quality ingredients while the salads and appetizers are fresh, tasty and nicely presented. Tops on the list are the curry burger with caramelized onions and the skewered coconut shrimp with hot pepper-honey dip. Other choices include a selection of pastas, chicken and fish. The brunch menu offers lots of benedicts and other breakfast options such as French toast and pancakes. Overall, the food does not disappoint.

Gracie, You popped my SLC "must be in a club" to be in a bar cherry. Be proud. I'm not ashamed. The idea of being in a drinking club is my kind of club. After the vaseline haze wore off... it really wasn't that romantic. Loud music. Cigars? Multiple rooms. But my... you sure did spread your legs with that vast patio of yours. Keep that patio open and you have yourself a harem of travelers that will come far and wide to take your oath.

I recently went to Gracie's on Tuesday for their Geeks Who Drink pub quiz. I'm a bit of a pub quiz connoisseur and the experience I had at Gracie's left me impressed. First, Gracie's has one of the best Quizmasters/Hosts in Salt Lake, Gar. This would make up for plenty of other missing ingredients alone. Yet, I don't have too much to critique. The bar was sparsely populated, but had a nice ambiance. The food (I had the Ahi wrap) was quite good. Their menu is quite decent for a pub with lots of options, including small plates and dessert. The service was high quality. My only real complaint is parking and it's expense being downtown. This is obviously a trade-off for the location. I've never been to Gracie's on the weekends, so I can't comment on the reputation it has at that time, but on Tuesday night, it more than met my expectations.

Charles S.

Meh. The upper patio is sweet. The lower patio is nice. The first visit was awesome! This time, not so much. Sad. The service was laughable. Do they have numbered tables? There were two emo-kids walking around aimlessly with trays of food asking people at every table... "Did you order this?" We were asked three different times about food that wasn't ours. Then we watched emo kid #1 carry our food out the upper patio door (where we were sitting), down the stairs, back inside, and magically reappear with our NOW ICE-COLD food. Our server was inattentive and uninterested. The burger would have been excellent if it wasn't cold and the same goes for the fries. The chipotle steak wrap was UNgood this time. The meat was tough and chewy. The sauce had pooled in either end of the wrap, rendering it virtually flavorless until the last bite of each half. Super disappointing this time. Bummer. We will give them another try, but not anytime soon and not with the same level of excitement and enthusiasm.

Food is fairly decent. Unfortunately the service is absolutely horrendous. Food is slow to come out, staff is slow as well. Only go if you have several hours to get a burger. Chairs are uncomfortable as well.

What a great place! Sometimes a joint fails in its efforts to be all things to all people, but here, somehow it all just works and they manage to pull it off. Food is good, the vibe is great, the peeps are cool, the venue rocks. Patio is great when the weather is. Whats not to like here?

Monica T.

I've been coming here somewhat regularly for a few months now, but brunch today now has me declaring that this is the best bar in town. I have to admit some snobbery. Yes, I'm that person that drinks wine at a bar. I know some of you look down on people like me, but it's not my fault that I haven't developed a taste for beer. But Gracie's is okay with people like me, so they have a good and reasonably priced wine list. The interior is nice and spacious, with plenty of TVs for sports watching. The live music they bring in is the type that you can groove to if you want, or you can go upstairs and enjoy it and a conversation with your friends. Service is sometimes a bit slow when it's crowded, but that's how it works, right? But this Sunday I went there for brunch. It was a beautiful day, and the deck was super comfortable with a nice view of the surrounding downtown area. They were playing just the right music over the speakers (a little classic rock, a little funk, a little jazz), and the food and mimosas were just delicious. I had the egg burrito, and my supremely attractive dining companion had the ranchero benedict. It was such a nice day that I really didn't want to leave. Good times, ya'll.

Kelie H.

Slow service, even on a non-busy night. First server completely disappeared and other server looked surprised we wanted to order anything when we flagged her down ourselves. I ordered a margarita which was really, really strong and gross, but I hate to complain so I didn't say anything and she never asked. When we flagged her down again to close out our tab she noticed the still-full margarita and didn't say anything. Hmmph. I like the privacy of the booths a lot. Everyone always sings the praises of the patios but I find them a little too raucous for my taste most nights. I've only been to Gracies twice and for limited times so I've never tasted the food. They are participating in the Dine O'Round so I feel like it deserves another chance. For me, Gracie's is just A-OK. I liked it, had an ok time, but not twitterpated but this place.

I go to this bar every week because I can't find any better bar. If you are looking for 'average' crowd, this is the place to go. It's hard to find a bar filled with average people in slc. there is always trash crowd, druggies, punks, thugs wannabe, whore looking girls with bad attitudes. This place is at minimum (maybe $5 cover filters those breeds?) This place is pretty big. For a guy, it's big enough to browse enough number of merchandise. (at small bars, you are done after talking to couple girls) You can not make an excuse by saying 'neh there were no girls to talk to' There are college girls (30%), girls in mid-late 20s (50%), women in 30s (20%) but in good shape. Now they have a little dance floor on 1st floor. This is not good for single guys. It's such a headache when girls come in as a group and just stay on the dance floor attention whoring. It affects their attitudes too. Btw, their dance floor is not like a regular club where you can just start grinding with some chick. Their drinks are cheap. (heineken $3.50) If you want to hit on classy crowds and don't want to get disgusted by trash crowds, this is the place to go.

Brian G.

This place is ok. Not my favorite becuase it feels like its trying to be a hybrid of a pub but yet a club. Please get rid of the cover the bands suck anyway and that excuse to charge a cover is lame. Aside from that this place is cool to take a date or meet up with co-workers. The corn hole is the best thing about his place. Again ditch the cover you'll see increased traffic. No complaints about service at the bar and the design/layout of the place is groovy.

Frank M.

I have no qualms with this place. Food is pretty good, I got some avocado something or whatever. It was good. I've been here once before, during a much more busy time, and I didn't like it as much. I liked it more as a restaurant type place. But that's cuz I'm dull, probably because my parents never sharpened me.

Been to Gracie's multiple times now - usually at night. It's lame they charge cover and after last night I will definitely not be returning. We went in meaning to spend a good deal of cash money at their bar. It was early and not crowded at all. One guy in my party accidentally went through the exit door instead of the entrance (double doors located right next to each other) and was therefore banned from entering the establishment on the basis of being 'too drunk.' I was stone sober and it was just an honest mistake. We left with minimal push back. Against our better judgement, we actually returned about an hour later to meet up with some friends there. Again, the bouncer pointed out the guy and said he wasn't allowed in. The guy asked the bouncer why he thought he was too drunk (a little antagonistically, true, it's always best to kiss bouncers' asses in my experience). The bouncer decided to just repeat that he needed to leave. At that, the guy in my party was already on his way out and then out of the blue, the bouncer kicks the guy in the neck (WTF). Of course when you get kicked in the neck, you naturally get up and go 'what the hell!' The bouncer then proceeds to kick him two more times. I'm still sober at this point so was a reliable witness. Other workers at Gracie's also witnessed this random assault but only made a half-assed attempt to stop it and also gave us a half-assed apology. Anyways, I'm not unreasonable and I understand when bouncers need to rough up people at bars or clubs but we were ALREADY LEAVING and in no way physical. And to prove my reason - I will say that their food is pretty good when they actually get your order right (eg. not cooking your burger SUPER well done when you order medium). In summary - don't let your friends go through the exit door on accident - you will get kicked in the neck. Ok, done.

Gracie's is a place I frequent, but I've recently been turned off by them. First off, their new chef has changed a lot of my favorite meals, and I miss them - specifically the wraps and some of the brunch items. A big plus is getting rid of the old chef's nasty orange-colored home fries for brunch, but I really do miss some of the old food. Consider bringing them back! Also, as of late, the service has sucked the big one. I think this mainly is because there is never enough wait staff, but because of that, orders are done incorrectly, I've been overcharged, waitresses keep forgetting my order (BECAUSE THEY NEVER WRITE ANYTHING DOWN), I have to get up and get my own condiments/to-go box, etc. I have loved Gracie's, but recently they've been a big bummer. My one other big criticism is that their specialty cocktails (while sometimes yummy) are very weak but ridiculously expensive for how weak they are ($13 for a boozy iced coffee???) it is a total rip-off.
(2)
M M.

We tried Gracie's for the first time last night and everyone in our party loved the food that they ordered. My friend ordered the filet mignon and she said that she rarely finds a restaurant that cooks it well. She said that hers was cooked perfectly. My husband ordered the ribs and we loved them. The presentation of the ribs was amazing as well. We will definitely be back for more great food! The only downside I would say is that some of the music they played on the speakers was hard to listen to. F-bombs every other word on a song we had to listen to.

Amy S.

Whoa. Thank you, Gracie. It's difficult to find a good bar in all of Utah what with the rather strict alcohol regulations throughout the state. Gracie's beer selection does not disappoint, though I can't comment on how strong the pours are in other libations. I could feel the tendency for the bar to become "too Ed Hardy/Affliction[ated]" as another Yelper put it, but we happened to go on a Sunday night when they were all staying in and reattaching rhinestones to their jeans. Gracie's has the best "bar food" ever. Two words: curry burger. I rarely, rarely eat red meat, but I have no regrets. I had a side of butternut squash soup--silky and sublime--and we shared a portion of sweet potato fries. I was a happy girl. When compared to gastropubs in other cities, Gracie's might not be that impressive. But for the SLC, Gracie's is pretty swell.
(4)
Joey P.

I've only been here once, but all I can say is: TRY THE CURRY BURGER! It is one of the best tasting hamburgers I've had in my life. It's a bit pricey at $9, but it was fantastic. Also, the beer on tap was extraordinarily cold which is a big plus, in my book. We went here on a Saturday at like 2pm, so it wasn't very busy, so I can't speak to their service, but I love the layout and I think I'll come back to watch a Jazz game there.

I had heard from a local that Gracie's had good food. I had the pork sliders and truffle chips, and I would agree wholeheartedly. This was one of the better meals I had in SLC and definitely gave a gastropub impression. The only downside was that I arrived for lunch about 11:30 and the place was dead empty inside and out. This meant I felt a little strange while dining. And actually expected a little quicker service than I got, since I was the only customer. The service was adequate, though. It just felt a little lonely being the only one on the patio for at least half an hour. People did start to come in around 12. I would recommend Gracie's to anyone visiting SLC, but maybe don't show up so early!

Really nice atmosphere, tasty drinks. Went there with my roommate. She had the tuna roll, which was incredibly good. I tried the mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was a little pricey, but the portion was huge and had some good shrimp and crab in it. The wait staff and bartenders were really nice, pleasant people to talk to. We got there early and by the end of the night, there was a decent crowd of various people, and very, very interesting people. Quite enjoyed the live band, they did a good job. Definitely will try to return.

A very good tapas menu in a cheerful bar. I also enjoyed the curry burger, which was quite a treat. Since it was a Tuesday night, I was treated to the sounds of an acoustic Paris-hot Jazz combo. It was a wonderful way to complete my visit to SLC.

Disclaimer: This review is coming from a weekend-night-after-dinner perspective. Gracie's is a really good time for people in their mid-20s to early 30s. The atmosphere is almost-sorta pub-like in that there aren't any go-go dancers or circulating laser-lights. Instead, it's relaxed and well-lit with good music (sometimes live music) and a huge patio! The people at Gracie's are more the preppy greek-college-life type and not so Jersey Shore. In addition, the focus is mostly on the bar and/or standing around and chatting, but there are plenty of places to sit down and there's even a small area dedicated to dancing! What I love about this place is being outside on summer nights. They have a two-story patio with plenty of room for everyone. In the downstairs patio-area they even have a bag-toss game (I believe it's called cornhole.) Definitely a fun way to meet people and pass time! If the weather is not so warm, they place plenty of heaters and chiminea-type things outside to keep you warm. Fridays are extremely packed while Saturdays are less exciting. I don't really know if this is important to mention, but every time I come here, I always meet interesting guys who are more than willing to buy me a drink (just for the record- I usually don't let them. I buy my own drinks!) Anyways, you're welcome single ladies of SLC. Find Me In: a summer dress with flats or wedges. Some girls will be in tight dresses and stilettos but I'm assuming they just don't know anything else.

Needs a lot of help in the food department but the location and ambiance is great. We stopped by for lunch and the place was pretty much empty. The menu is fairly small but the food sounds good. I got the garlic burger and my wife got the steak wrap. The fries that came with the burger were great but the burger was overlooked and under seasoned. I added a sauce to bring out some flavor but even that didn't do much. The steak wrap looked fantastic but my wife said that there wasn't enough seasoning and too many bell peppers. Won't be back but don't regret giving the place a try. I saw the Cuban sandwich as I walked out and that looked really good; give that a try if you read this and still go.

The food was terrible. Take it back, the edamame was good. The street taco was served with lettuce even though the menu stated shredded cabbage. It was surprisingly bland. The spare ribs were cold, fatty and tasted like they were boiled in water.

Gracie's is my favorite gastropub in the city. That's because it's the only gastropub in the city, at least the only one that deserves that designation. It is both an exceptional restaurant, and a great bar. I realized how much i really love the place after a recent aborted attempt to get a table at Squatter's, the most popular brewpub in the city. This is mostly for good reason, but the crowds and the volume at Squatter's can be a bit grating. Anyway, after being told there was a forty minute wait, we ended up next door at Gracie's, which has a more subdued and welcoming feel, at least early on weeknights. They have a nice selection of beers and mixed drinks, and with two levels and a fabulous patio, you can choose whatever atmosphere suits your mood. But it's the food that will continue to bring me back. After four visits with my lady, I have sampled several menu items, and I've never been disappointed. My favorite is Gracie's Crown of Ribs. This dish should not be confused with smoked and grilled ribs you might get at Pat's or Kaiser's. These are slowly oven braised in an ancho barbecue sauce until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender. A truly fabulous dish. The Ricotta Gnocchi is sublime. The Blackened Salmon Burger is a winner. The Madeira Pork Chop with Pecan Risotto rises to a level well beyond traditional pub grub. The Pommes Frites Plate, a combination of regular fries and sweet potato fries, cooked crisp and seasoned with salt and parsley, is a guilty pleasure. And the Ancho-Chili Chicken Wings threaten to convert me from my obsession with traditional buffalo style wings. If all goes well, I may be a brunch and a Bloody Mary away from a five star rating.

Grason R.

Gracie's is your typical hit and miss bar with more positives than negatives. It is a 2 story building, with a bar on each floor and plenty of seating. They occasionally have a Jazz band playing which can certainly add a lot of noise if thats your thing. The patio is great in the summer as it gives you a nice break from the busy inside. Food is great and drinks are reasonable. Just watch out for the popped-collar, unbuttoned shirt, guy who may or may not be there just to be a douche. If you are that guy, please stick to area 51.

LOVED this place! We tried several places while in town for 3 days, and this place kept us coming back. Everything was fantastic! GREAT drinks, pours and prices. FOOD was fantastic! (go for brunch and try the salmon). Staff was awesome! Everyone there was friendly, knowledgeable and just great overall. One bartender even gave us a map and told us different places to go.

"What the hell is a gastro-pub?" You may be asking yourself. After having eaten at Gracie's I still can't tell you with any certainty. I mean, sure, they serve beer. Okay, so the Pub part makes sense. But gastro? Gastro as in gastronomy? Doesn't that usually mean some sort of fine cuisine? A pub with fine cuisine. Oxymoronic, right? And that's the problem with this establishment. They screw up a good thing by trying too damn hard. Throw some curry on a burger and put a $12 price tag on it! Yeah, no. This place would be much improved by sticking to the basics. A good beer, a burger and some fries with a little greenery on the side that no one will notice or touch is all that a pub needs to be successful. There is a good looking club with good beer in a good location lurking beneath. Or you could go down the street to Squatters.

Just finished a 3 day trip in SLC and we ended up eating there 3 times! Not busy when others in the area had 20 min wait. Good service (servers #39 and #44). Wide range of seating options. We had the Curry Burger, Chipotle Steak Wrap, Spicy Ahi Tuna Wrap, Pomodoro Alla Tagliatelle and Beef Tournedos (was the special, not on menu). ALL were very good or excellent. Next time I'm in town, will definitely go back.

GASTROintestinalPUBdisorder. I've graced this joint a few times, mostly for drinks. The bartenders are solid, and they've a decent selection of bottled beer with some Deschutes and Squatters highlights. Only once have I eaten Gracie's food, but I will always remember it, especially if I am walking down the alley behind a condemned fish market. Salmon meets grill meets bun. Nowhere did the menu describe the fish as "aged." I would even call it geriatric. There were also, sadly, fries. Evidently, before my salmon died of natural causes surrounded by several generations of its fishy offspring, it installed its bath chair in Gracie's fryolator. The taste and aroma of stale fry grease are instantly recognizable and never a good sign. Seriously, it's fry grease. Change it regularly. There was also, tragically, a salad. If, over the next several years, you find that your salads have no dressing, I can tell you exactly where it all went. Perhaps a particularly frisky sous chef loosened the lid on the five gallon bucket of dressing as a prank. Whatever the cause, I have now seen lettuce swim. I even tried to defib my salmon by splashing some of the dressing on it. No luck, as it had long since gone to the light. So, given the horror show that was Gracie's fud, why have I not slapped a single stanky star upon it? Our server was totally pleasant. She tossed Grandpa Salmon into the crematorium and struck his memory from our bill. And, as a bar with TVs and sports and shuffleboard and such, Gracie's is pretty damn okay.

While Gracie's definitely is not much for the service, I do enjoy the food. I usually stop by at lunch time, it tends to be less crowded and service comes by more quickly. The Angus Burger is a great deal at lunch, only $6 with fries (I like the 50/50 regular and sweet potato fry mix.) Also a great beer selection and some good mixed drinks too. Most of their entrees are expensive so I have yet to try them out but the burgers are great!

I've visited for food and drinks a few times now, sometimes for a professional event but with friends and alone too. Experience is usually the same -- hit-or-miss service and mildly overpriced food/drink, but pleasant to excellent atmosphere. I can really only speak for the upstairs bar, which is where I squat. I went solo last night to watch my hometown Spurs kill it in the playoffs, and had a really mixed experience. Grabbed a table right in front of the flat screen and settled in. The lights were dimmed, the vibe was calm and I was stoked to have such a "private" viewing with just me and the HD TV. And for a good 10 minutes, it was just me and the HD TV. I finally got up and asked the female bartender for a Pacifico and to put in an order for nachos. "Where are you sitting?" I pointed to the table 8 feet away. "Ok, so that's ****. I'll send her right over." 8 minutes pass. We're into the second quarter. I approach the bar again, a bit bitchier, "Hi, I'm really hungry and really in need of a beer." "Oh, I'm so sorry -- let me go ahead and put that in for you." All was forgiven on my part. Until **** showed up. She asked me in an almost accusatory way, avoiding eye contact, "So, you put in your order already, I guess?" "Yeah. Nachos. Are they good?" She was gone before I was done speaking. Thank goodness Matt was working the bar. He took excellent care of me when he saw **** wasn't. Ended up meeting a lovely group of pro volleyball players from Seattle in town for a regional tournament, and also there to watch the game. Joined their table, which **** was also servicing. After seeing that she was condescending and snarky to all, I took her distaste for me a lot less personally. My nachos were 2 or 3 star, but a step up from Desert Edge. They kind of tasted like Taco Bell's nachos, though, which is probably because they use the same "cheese"? Sweet potato fries were a hit. I didn't try them but they looked to be the standard frozen variety. Burger also got a big thumbs up. French onion soup got two thumbs down, and the pork sliders didn't fare much better. All in all, Gracie's is my pick for watching a game downtown, if I'm solo or with a small group. It's not at the top of my list for a casual spot for drinks with friends, but it's not at the bottom either. Stick with basic American diner fare for food. Oh, and the patio's nice too, but usually less meat-markety upstairs -- just like the bar's interior, actually.

As a restaurant...Gracie's deserves three stars. But as a bar, Gracie's all around is the best bar in Salt Lake. It's not my favorite bar, but it's always packed with a good ration of women/men. You can wear a t-shirt/jeans and be fine, while enjoying a nice patio and setting. Could definitely please a lot of bargoer's tastes on this one. Hit up Gracie's if... A) You want a sure thing good time. B) You're not digging your date that much, so move on and snatch another girl's number here. C) You like lots of people (the place is usually packed). D) You're with a large group of people on a Friday night (something for everyone)

Was here for a vendor hosted event. We were in a back room where we had tv's and food. The servers were there pretty frequently so getting a drink was never a problem. The food we had was of the appetizer variety. That was all good. I didn't eat from their main menu, but I'm sure it was good. Also, good proximity to downtown. Sorry, this review is kind of thin.

This place should not claim to be a gastropub. It should call itself a bar with better food. I know those sound like the same thing but they are definitely not equivalent. A gastropub should be a pub, essentially a drinking establishment that often serves limited food options, that has such good food and service that it caters to a restaurant crowd in addition to a bar crowd. Gracie's does not meet this definition. The food was better than average bar food, but the service was horrendous. Even though the place was completely empty, our waitress acted like a drink girl at a packed bar. That is to say, we very rarely saw her. We did not get drink refills until every person at the table was out of their drink. We could not even get up to grab our waitress as she disappeared completely for long periods of time. Our lunch took a ridiculous amount of time to come, and when it did, the soups, salads and entrees all came at the same time. My meal consisted of a steak wrap that was pretty good, a salad that i cant remember and a really good bowl of gumbo. I liked the food, but the fact that our presence was treated like an inconvenience ruined the experience completely.

Gracies has the sexiest patio in all of downtown Salt Lake City. With a lower and upper patio, downtown views, live music throughout the the week and a killer lunch and dinner menu (along with weekend brunch deals). This, on top of an excellent bar staff. Every group can enjoy a night out there.

Riad S.

Food is real good. My faves are the curry burger and the spicy ahi tuna wrap... We had brunch there today and I had a total of three cokes. The first was pretty flat, so I asked for another and then had another refill. Unfortunately, the servers are instructed to charge for extra refills. They charge you $2 a coke, and if you have more they can charge you more. You don't find this out until you get the bill. Completely ridiculous to pay $4 for a couple glasses of soda, let alone a flat soda.

Dine-O-Round Destination #5 $5 Lunch Special: Chicken Curry Wrap with choice of Side I ended up ordering the Garlic Burger with a side salad (with balsalmic vinaigrette). It was a really tasty burger, a bit difficult and messy to eat (had streams of curry infused grease running down my hands), but tasty never the less. My friends ordered the Dine-O-Round special and found the butternut squash bisque to be fantastic, and the chicken curry wrap to also be quite nice. Finding street parking was a tad bit difficult here, and the service was a little bit too negligible for me, especially at a lunch hour. There were tons of people there so I'll give them that, but it's still hard to forgive poor service when you allot yourself a 2 hour lunch and you're afraid you will have to run back to your meter before you even finish your meal. Anyways, It was a perfect day to sit out on the patio, except for the slight breeze blowing tons of smoke in our direction. But easily solved with changing tables. I really like the whole gastro-pub-ness of Gracie's and will probably be back to try other fixins on the menu. By the way, they had really decent looking vegetarian options!

Gracie's is a place to see and be seen. It is a great place if you're wanting to go out with a bunch of friends to someone loud and hip. There are lots of big screens in the main dining areas, great live music, okay drink selection, lots of congregating areas. The best thing is their big patio with lots of seating. They have been open for about 6 months and seem to attract the social club scene much of the same folks that used to frequent Port O'Call. What I didn't like- the menu. It was very typical bar food. Everything we had was really greasy- even dessert. The service was slow but friendly. Overall I would say this would be a fun place to hang out if that's what you're looking to do but if you're looking for good food and a classy atmosphere go somewhere else.

As usual traveling on business and came here to have a bite to eat. Sat upstairs in the bar, a bit noisy but I like sitting at the bar. Had a glass of wine and ordered the pork medallions. The pork was cooked perfectly but the rub was a bit too much. The sauce was great and you cant beat the bacon mashed potatoes. We had a great bartender who suggested the white Malbec from Argentina, awesome for $6. Great food, live band downstairs when we walked out, nice crowd. Nothing to dislike here!

6/21/2010 8:25pm To Kelley. At Gracie's. Just ordered pasta, salad, fries, all to share. We'll see if you're right to hate this place. ; ) 6/21/2010 8:35pm To Kelley. Waiting for food, Jeremy is out of water. No sign of waitress. He's started on mine. 6/21/2010 8:37pm To Kelley. Jer points out perforated tables not good for dripping drinks, etc. 6/21/2010 8:44pm To Kelley Trashy people at next table left lit cig in ash tray wafting copious smoke. Jer snuffed it for me. My hero. 6/21/2010 8:52pm To Kelley Srsly how long to make a plate of fries, Gracie?? 6/21/2010 9:07pm To Kelley Food came at last. It is actually quite good with caveats. Spicy ketchup too spicy. 6/21/2010 9:21pm To Kelley Waitress kindly put nuts on side of salad and I accidentally poured on whole salad so had to pick off Jeremy's portion. Sorry, Jer. 6/21/2010 10:06pm To Kelley Verdict: Gracie not bad. Def worth another try; hope to go before 7 when tapas menu available and Sunday brunch sounds yummy and affordable. Will go back!

Terrible customer service. We spent a few hours there and spent a lot of money and at the end were just treated poorly. The food was great though. Really would like to give them a good review, but can't because of the way they handle their business. Never going there again, unfortunately. Plus, it's an older crowd, like 50 and 60 year olds. Maybe that's why the service was bad, they're snobby and don't really cater to the younger, hip crowd.

Amazing nachos! Now I've bad mouthed places that put cheese sauce on their nachos but this place puts a home made queso that was delish! They also put real cheddar, fresh jalapenos and the works. Hands down the best nachos I've ever had. Service was phenomenal, the place was cute, clean and they had a pretty cool band playing acoustic versions of all the popular new hit songs.

Brunch at Gracie's was a blend of outstanding food, tasty mimosas, and sunshine aplenty on the dining deck. The ambient music was just right, and service was acceptable. I had the Rancheros Eggs Benedict, which I feared would be massive and rich, but it was a very reasonable portion. My lovely dining companion tried the Egg Burrito, and she said several nice things about it. A good time was had by all... I look forward to my next visit.

Ezra B.

Maybe I was super hungry or maybe I ordered right, but the ricotta gnocchi was most excellent. Pesto and Pho looked pretty damned good and the steak salad. Would come back and the amount of food you get for the price makes it worthwhile for sure. Great taste and seems like it has a pretty lively night scene too with a patio bar and upper deck bar. I'd go back.

Go here if you like to people watch middle-aged people trying to re-capture their youth. It is fairly entertaining. The location and the building are nice but the rest of the experience is sleazy.

I come into SLC on business every once in a while and have been wanting to stop here. A coworker and I stopped at dinner elsewhere but came here for drinks around 9pm on a Thursday. We were definitely glad we stopped here. This place has a pretty good vibe with live entertainment. Probably good for people watching to. There are two levels with an outdoor patio on the second floor. We decided to hang out on the patio for a while since it was so nice out and all. The second floor seems to be where everyone wants to hang out. I actually went to the bartenders on the first level because it was easier to get a drink down there and came back up. I've heard that the food is pretty good here also. The next time I'm in SLC, I want to stop by and try the food.

Manda B.

Updating my original review. Still a fan, but I wanted to make clear that my visits have only been during brunch or lunch. During the nighttime, it becomes the meeting place for the most annoying people in the city. I also believe they did not offer the hot cocktails during winter 2010/11. Bummer! Hope they come back! ------------------ Gracie's is a regular spot for the City Weekly crowd. Many lunches and after-work affairs have taken place here. I enjoy their food: * the salmon sandwich is a fave. * excellent soups * tapas LOVE that they serve hot cocktails during the winter. Nothing better than having a hot toddy to ease up a cold in January. The wait staff is excellent. I always have great service. The best patio in SLC. Plenty of outdoor space and seating.

Katie T.

Never eaten the food here, but as a bar Gracie's is not the greatest. Poor music selection (90s pop when I last went), cover charge, rude and inexperienced bartenders, and over-priced drinks. The crowd that frequently Gracie's can be be described as "guido;" with Ed Hardy t-shirts and overly-teased hair to spare. It's a shame that such a nicely equipped building turns into such a poor bar!

Jeff H.

Disclaimer: I have never eaten food at Gracie's. I've been with people who ordered off the menu, and the food looked average at best. There really aren't bars with good food in SLC. There are good restaurants that serve drinks, but if you want good bar food locally you're going to have to lower your standards. I'm giving three stars purely for the patios. There are two large patios that a perfect for hanging out in nice weather. There's lots of tables, many with umbrellas. It's a good setup and pretty much the only reason I go there. Gracie's has two bars--one upstairs and one down. I really can't imagine going there solo. It's the kind of place where I want a couple of friends with me. They have live music often, but it always feels over-loud and forced. When the 50-ish couple starts swing dancing to a bad cover song I just want to cringe. To each their own...but how can I get my proper swerve on when Uncle Buck is dancing with a woman in a skirt that passed her by 20 years ago? I can't, and that's my point. Gracie's is a good place to take a mixed group of people. When you're not sure what scene people are looking for, go here. That way everyone will only be mildly disappointed!

Johnny R.

Gracies is more like a bar than a restaurant. The service is slow, but the food we had was better than the stuff you normally get in a bar. The live band that was there performed various songs ranging from the oldies to the top 40 hits of today. Everyone was encouraged to dance in a section of space directly in front of the "stage". A pretty good ratio of men to women, which was not bad for a Wednesday night. Now I bet this place is rocking during football season or during the Jazz games.
(4)
David H.

This place has everything you need, unless you're claustrophobic. I like that you can stick to one area of the bar, and it's a different scene at the other end of the venue... we didn't even notice people gettin' hyphy on the dance floor until we left. No matter where you are though, you'll probably be in someone's path, and the layout doesn't give you many options to get out of the way if you know what I mean. Pros: -HUGE TV's w/ comfy seats -Dance floor -Fantastic game room w/ arcade games, pool, etc. -Good beer selection -Killer patio (only non-claustrophobic area) Cons: -Cramped, so don't leave ur seat if you get one!! -Male bartenders are a bit slow, but the taller female bartender downstairs fuckin' rocked it. Everyone noticed, and was tryin' to go to her.

We had a party of 6 and made reservations for the large booth upstairs. This is a 21 and older establishment and I really like that. We all ordered very different dishes. I had the crab and shrimp mac and cheese. It was outstanding! I did hear that the veggie stir fry and rib eye could have been better. The service was very good and I will be returning next time I am in town.

My first day in SLC, we headed to Gracie's. Lunch consisted of seafood filled macaroni and cheese, salad, shots of whiskey followed by icecold BlueMoons with slices of orange wedges. YUM. We went back to Gracie's that night and heard the most AMAZING band ever, they are called the Daniel day Trio. They play jazz covers of the most random songs you would never even imagine: From Billy Idol to Bedrock, Birthday Sex, U2, and The Beatles. DDT is a dorky trio of men in ironic, hipster, vintage suits. They looked like they were having a blast rockin out on their instruments with big smiles and cracking up laughing at themselves, and we were having a blast getting tipsy off Utah-famous near beers and trying to guess the songs. I bought one of their CDs. I LOVE DDT and I love Gracie's, only because they play there.

The food was great, I got the macaroni and cheese with crab in it and it was amazing! However, the service wasn't good, it took forever to order and get our food and then our ticket when we were ready to go. I would go back for the food in a heartbeat!

I had lunch here with a large group during a conference. They were a bit slow, maybe due to the size of our group, but there were plenty of tables open. I had the Cuban sandwich with a side salad. It was tasty but lukewarm (cheese was just slightly melted) and a bit wet. Patio seating was okay and the staff was fine.

Here for work for a month and a local here recommended this place. I must say he did not disappoint. Great atmosphere great food and reasonable prices.

My friend had the pork tenderloin and mash potatoes. The mashed potatoes were spicy and freacking amazing.

Worst food ever. If their kitchen can't handle a Saturday night crowd, maybe they should consider only have a hand full of bar food on the menu. We ordered the sandwiches. The server was nice, when we told her the food is all cold. She took them back to the kitchen. When the food was brought back to us, the food was clearly microwaved. You can tell front the fries..... Maybe most their customers are too drunk to know how bad their food is. I won't go back there.

All i have to say is CURRY BURGER. DAMN that is a good burger man. Who would've thunk curry and hamburger? Well Gracies did. I chowed one down alongside a curry carrot soup. I know you might be thinking curry overload but you don't know me so stop acting like you know what i think alright! Curry perfection.

Nice bar / restaurant in downtown Salt Lake area. I was in SLC for business and decided to venture out of my hotel for a drink. Easy parking in a $5 lot right outside. Friendly bartenders and staff and a nice outdoor patio area for the summer. It seemed to be a popular local place for 20-30ish year olds. I would go back if I ever find myself in Mormon country again.

I stopped over to Gracie's the other night for a quick dinner. I got the Chicken Fromage with a cup of french onion soup. Let's just say I was very underwhelmed. The chicken was dry, and it really was just chicken and cheese. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but it was very subpar. On the bright side, they had a good beer selection, the bartender was friendly and quick, and they had touchscreen games. At least we entertained ourselves while we ate. It looks like it might be a good place for drinks in the summertime - they have what looks like a nice deck. I would go back for drinks, but will skip the food.

The service was awful... and rooftop?!? I guess it was rooftop, but I was thinking high in the air, not 15 feet up with an excellent view of the parking lot... I guess it's Salt Lake City.... Okay - we are from NYC so give us a little leeway, but in a mohito aren't you supposed to muddle the mint and isn't it supposed to be more than 5 leaves?!?

Service here is a disaster. "Gastropub" in name only. The staff are nice, but these folks have no idea what they're doing when it comes to the restaurant side. Sit at the bar if you intend to eat a burger inside of 2 hours. They have open seating when you walk in, but the staff is so misplaced they rarely notice when a new table sits down. Food is hit or miss, some of it is truly good (excellent pork loin) , a lot of it is just bar food oddly seasoned (burgers, nachos, soup is terrible). Great wine list. Cocktails are crafted by someone who probably doesn't drink... almost all are odd syrupy sweet concoctions that you wont finish.

Gracie's was great. I would refer to the food as gourmet bar food. Very very good. Try the homemade Gorgonzola dressing. The ambiance is nice especially in the summer outside. Everyone was friendly, so we sat and drank beer all night.

Ryan S.

the angus burger was decidedly pedestrian (it seemed like it may have come from a frozen patty) but I'm willing to chalk this up to a case of "those who ask for the pedestrian receive the pedestrian." if they didn't pitch themselves as a gastropub I wouldn't have taken any issue with the quality of the food. both the beer and music selection was decent and the view from the patio was nice and on the whole I was content. the service was also good. I don't know how much that had to do with general fear of pre-declared Yelpers, but I'm cool with good service even if it happens to be fear-induced. I left around 10:30 and it seemed like the party crowd was about to arrive, so my escape was well-timed. because the patio is so pleasant it would likely be a great brunch spot, so I'll be back for that.

Gracie's opened in June 2009 and I have been quite a few times since then. They open at 11am and have a full menu. There are some great food options. Lots of tv's all around the bars if you just wanna go in and watch a game and have a beer too. The last few times i've gone in, there has even been live music. One of my favorite things about Gracie's is the setup. There's an upstairs and downstairs bar, a game room and the largest two level outdoor patio I have seen in Utah. I love the dark wood bars and seating inside. It works well since it's so open with windows just about everywhere.

Gracie's is good. I can't feel good about saying great, because I've only been there once, so good will have to do. The view from the roof top patio is stellar. The expansive parking lot out front and the traffic on 300 S is just amazing. The view out towards the mountains obscured by tall buildings isn't bad either. If you enjoy looking down on people, but haven't achieved the status or financial success in life necessary to do it figuratively, visit Gracie's and do it literally. The rooftop balcony works like a charm for that stuff. If you're Mormon or recently turned 21, you'll get the butt puckering thrill of being carded for ID since Gracie's is a bar. But if you're just going for some tasty fare, you won't need to talk to your bishop. I promise. The portions are large, the prices are reasonable and the selection is vast considering this is a bar. Food quality was on par and service was friendly. Eat here, its good and different.

I went there for a "Girls Night Out" right after work, so it was 5:30 and the lower patio was just perfect. Very casual atmosphere, service was awesome!! We had the hummus which was good, not the best I've had. Someone else in our group had a giant plate of nachos...it looked delicious. The attire ranged from casual to folks just coming from work. Our server, Tiffany, was Awesome and very attentive! I'd definitely go here again. I'd like to try it later in the evening...I've heard it gets rocking!

This is a must have on a hot summer night. Had the filet mignot and it was so tender, I felt guilty eating it. Melting Gouda crumbles and a raspberry sauce, mash tatoes and asparagus were good too.

Mid week business trip looking for a good place to eat. Gracies was close to the hotel so I checked it out. Sat at the bar and was immediately greeted.

Spacious, "after work" type of place, tailored for the yuppie crowd. Two levels, two patios, decent food, OK bands, good place to watch sports. All in all, a little generic for my taste, but a safe bet if you need a place to take conservative out-of-towners, like your in-laws.

Timothy N.

Oh I wanted so much to write a good review tonight but am afraid I can't. I've eaten here before and the social aspects of the restaurant have been good. I was entertaining family from the Midwest and wanted them to have a good time. It took 20 minutes to get water, 40 mins to get cocktails and menus, and two hours after we ordered to get food. And finally when all the entrees arrived they were either cold when they were supposed to be hot and the spinach salad had been sitting so long in its own dressing that it was now wilted and soppy in dressing. Now one might say they had an off night but a friend of mine had lunch there a week prior and said it took 2 hours to get a burger. And he is a clergymen and I've never heard him complain about anything at all. The previous time I ate there on my birthday 4 months ago, they were slow so they are on my black list until I hear somebody say something different. The manager apologized and took 50% off our bill and he would have been smarter to make us pay the full alcohol tab (two drinks) and comp the entire worthless dinner. I hate to complain. but not any longer. Looking at other reviews, I noted that people have been complaining about their slowness for a long time. Better smarten up boys or you're through.

Went for lunch. I won't bother going again. Not terrible, but didn't really enjoy anything about Gracie's.

Went in on a Tuesday and was completely dead, the wait staff was friendly but slow. The food was average.

Pretty disappointed in the service. We had to go get our own plates and silverware. Asked for drinks 3 times before getting them. Our server had 12 tables which is totally too many. Not impressed with this place at all, we won't be back.

Six dollar parking. Five Dollar Saturday night cover charge. No live music. Crowded. Bad decoration and atmosphere. Layout is strange and awkward. Drinks are overpriced (ten dollar wine). Need I say more? I guess if you're in college and want to pay for overpriced drinks and feel like you're in a cool bar scene, be my guest. Me? I'll go to a place that actually has character and personality, no cover charge, and affordable drinks.

Awesome crowd and ambience. Lots of live music and a huge open patio. Really good wine selection for a bar. Food is great, we loved the bikini dip and steak wrap.

Gracie's is a really nice bar overall and a fun place to visit. It has a great, friendly, atmosphere added to by relaxing yet upbeat background music. The inside bar is huge and double sided but the real gem for me is the outside patio area. It reminds me of being on vacation in Spain or the Caribbean with the awnings and lava heat lamps. Really nice. Even on a Friday evening at 8pm this place is not really too busy, and it seems to appeal more to the middle age crowd which inherently appeals to me since, well, I am middle aged, and makes Gracie's more appealing for a relaxing time than some of the other downtown bars that tend to attract the younger early twenties folks. They also have a really good food menu with some very novel items, this not your regular bar food. I had the Kobe Cyclops which is grilled Kobe beef with fried egg, smoked cheddar, creamy Worcestershire and onions all on top of Focaccia bread. This was awesome and I would get this again. The sweet potato fries I got with it were also pretty decent as bar food goes. Service here is super friendly and was for the most part fast and they check up on you regularly. Overall a fun place and somewhere I would definitely visit again.

Fix your food!!! Such a great place, especially in warm weather but their food has been terrible for a good while now! I also had a friend get food poisoning from there recently!

I really loved this place! The food was great, bar was great, the environment was truly a lot of fun, the setting and everything is just adorable. One of the best places places I went to in salt lake! I'd totally go again.

If you're looking for a romantic date spot or a fun place to go with friends then Gracie's is the place to go! My husband and I wanted dinner on the patio on a Friday night but all the tables outside were taken so we ended up at a table upstairs. We asked our waitress, Cali, if she could let us know if a table became available outside and she said she would and she did! Right after we got our food one became available on the second floor patio overlooking the patio downstairs. It was perfect! City lights, a summer breeze, and fun music coming from the downstairs. AND, we both loved our entrees and our drinks. I had the steak salad, with the steak cooked a perfect medium-rare, ripe cherry tomatoes, crispy fried onions, and a very tasty ranch/blue cheese dressing. My husband's chicken Marsala was flavorful and the mashed potatoes subtlety garlicky. For what we wanted it was right on the mark! We lingered on the patio after our dinner for awhile to enjoy the ambience. Cali's service topped this night off. She was attentive, friendly, and cheerful! We want to go back soon for brunch!

I've been multiple times and have yet to have a good dining experience at Gracie's. The bar service is top notch, but it shouldn't take an hour to get a dozen wings and another 45 minutes to get a side of ranch. My poor waitress was doing her best, but you could tell that she had way too much territory to cover and because of that we were very neglected. Hire more wait staff and tell your kitchen staff to pull their shit together. It's not like you're a new restaurant and still trying to get your rhythm. Put on your big boy pants and get the job done.

A buddy and me stopped by for pre-dinner drinks and ended up getting wings too. The red agave wings were really good (sweet with heat - think buffalo with an easy finish). The house Old Fashioned was spot on ($10) too. We sat on the patio which was nice but there was a lot of smoking.

Probably my favorite bar in Salt Lake. I love when bars have big outdoor patios like this one. The music is good for dancing when you go on Fridays or Saturdays. Bartenders are nice also. The game room is fun too. I love watching drunk people playing ski ball.

I am kinda torn about how many stars to give this place. I personally probably wouldn't go back for the food. But it could have just been what I got. As a vegetarian I didn't have a whole lot of options. we ended up going here because the wait at squatters was too long. I ordered the Veggie wrap. I asked for no cheese, I got cheese, which is kinda annoying but I could pick it out so I survived. But the wrap in general was super bland , bland black beans, bland sweet potato puree in a cold hard to chew spinach tortilla you would find in any grocery store. I would say the apple vinaigrette on my salad was very good. My companions got the curry burger which they said was really good, and also they said the soup which had bacon in it was good. Beside the cheese when I asked for no cheese the server was very good and very attentive, filled up our waters even when we were done and just chatting and had already paid the bill and she was very good at checking to make sure everything was ok and that we didn't need anything else. So I could have complained about the cheese and I am sure she would have fixed it. But no one wants to be THAT person. All this summed together I would say 3 stars is very fair. And that I would not recommend the wraps. Also people I know do speak very highly of the nachos and the brunch menu.

Whoa! This place has it all! Upstairs restaurant/bar Downstairs live music club/bar Patio for dining, drinking, carousing, or playing any of the lawn games they have setup out there! We had the nachos (which were delicious, and huge!), several of the beers, some of the wines, and a few more of the appetizers (the fried and breaded cheese plate stands out in my memory) The service was excellent, the drinks were delicious, and I found myself having a hard time choosing between items on the menu because I wanted to try all of them! With luck, I'll get another chance to try it all. But! Until I do, I recommend anyone and everyone reading this takes a stab at it!

The patios are definitely the biggest selling point and very enjoyable. The beer/wine list is fine but nothing to write home about. The food is super lacking. I don't think they really understand what a gastropub is, or perhaps trying to do what other restaurants do but just don't get it. Bottom line, go here if you're in the area and want a nice outdoor experience but if you'e looking for good food, go elsewhere.

I had a work related meet and greet here that didn't disappoint. The environment was warm and friendly and the food was wonderful and original. I had the blackened salmon..... Great!

Gracies is a fun place in the summer. Lots of room out side, with two patios. It's good vibes and fun times. All of the staff is friendly! The only thing that I don't like is the djs the have. They play horrible dance music. I don't want house music. However I would like so new music that has come out with in the last 3 months.

The deliciousness of "The Hangover" from their brunch/breakfast menu made up for the very average service (no prawn and/or bacon strip for my Gracie's "Special" Bloody Mary). My girlfriend ordered the Hawaiian French Toast platter that we didn't end up finishing there (I did the next morning though).

Kyle at Gracie's thinks he has all the control. He was just at the door letting people in. I waiting in line and let my brother and his friend come join with me. He witnessed and said I was no longer welcome at the bar. Other than that Gracie's is the best bar in slc. I would highly recommend the bar but watch out for the old man Kyle.

I've eaten here a few times. The food is ok. There is something for everybody and an extensive drink menu. The venue is great too. The other constant: awful service. Bad. Always. Yet i keep showing up when i'm in town. I literally just sat there for 30 minutes waiting for a server/trying to get one's attention. No dice. Oh yeah, and the band was a half hour late going on. Goodbye forever.

Ok here's the deal, I've been coming to Gracie's for a LONG time. Sunday Brunch and the Crab Mac and Cheese have been my long time favorites. Sunday Brunch was the best for me because of the quick service, the Sunday Mary's and the BACON. My boyfriend LOVED their Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict. Gracies seems to have had a LOT of turn over in staff because the wait staff on Sundays struggles to keep drinks and coffee filled, a huge pet peeve of mine. Sunday Brunch has change WAY too much I've heard they have gone through a few different chef's in the last year. Please Please Please, STOP. Bring back your bacon, literally last weekend it tasted and looked like turkey bacon. Also stuff is staying under the heat lamps too long before it comes out and the sauces are drying up before they even get to the table. I want to LOVE you guys again not just feel, meh about you.

I was in town for work and decided to try Gracie's for dinner. It was a Monday night and there was a very nice jazz-ish band playing, which was the best part of my visit. I ordered the Nacho (small size) and Veggie Wrap. The "small" nacho was huge! And for $7 dollars you can't beat that. The Veggie Wrap was disappointing though. All I could taste was black beans. The menu had a variety of choices with many healthy options and was not standard pub menu by any means. Service was slow and below average, which is another reason for my mediocre review. The server didn't ask how my food was, offer me another beer when I was finished or attempt to engage with me besides introducing himself when I first sat down. If you want an average place with good live music and average food at a competitive price then Gracie's is a great place. Plan to pay $6 for parking as well...

I've been here twice in the last couple of weeks. Once for lunch and today for Brunch. Both times I sat on the balcony. I like the balcony because it is facing either east or north so that the afternoon sun isn't beaming down on you. It's also spacious with a couple of tv's up here too. The service each time has been wonderful. However the food is amazing especially for the price! For lunch I had the Angus Sliders with Sharp Cheddar($4) and Cheese Fritters($4). The sliders were a little dry but still good. Fritters were great too. But can't go wrong with fried cheese. She had the Turkey and Avocado sandwich($9) with BLT Pasta Salad on the side, which was AWESOME! When I came back for Bunch I had the Ancho-Cheddar Biscuits and Gravy($8) which was tasty. The gravy was great, and the biscuits were awesome. They were a little stingy with the gravy but unlike you're regular biscuits & gravy the biscuits here have a lot of flavor. I also like the sprinkle of cheese on top. It comes with country potatoes which were full of flavor and didn't even need ketchup! She had the CrÃ¨me Brule French Toast($5) which was delicious. I was satisfied with my two visits and will definitely come back for dinner on there lovely balcony and/or for some live music. --This place is a diamond in the rough. BONUS- *$3 Mimosa's for brunch!
